I am currently at a total of 85% for all claims. I have been reassessed for my back injury from a night parachute jump and have been told that it will be going up. This injury falls under the Pension Act. I have also been reassessed for my PTSD and have been told that it is going up. The PTSD...
On January 30th 3018 I submitted a claim for Parkinson's Disease. VAC has told me that I have a very high thresh hold to overcome as it is generally treated by VAC as a disease of aging. Yet my Doctor firmly believes it is related to my service.
I have attached a PDF of my supporting...
The two cases in Nova Scotia and a similar one in Manitoba(not yet published) are something that everyone on here should take note of and make sure it is widely known. If you have a disability pension, or a disability award, or are in receipt of danger pay and live in those two provinces they...

MODS Please move if there is a better place for this.

From my observations there are many members that like the Bureau of Pension Advocates and some that don't. The Pension Advocate in Winnipeg, Mr. Kurt Clyde is retiring tomorrow. I have a lot of respect for him and since my first contact in 1990 and my last in 2013 he has been outstanding. Here...
It is my belief that the general public does not clearly grasp the real and actual difference between the New Veteran's Charter and the former Pension Act. The Department of Veteran's Affairs continues to confuse the issues with their spin on the facts and other so called New Program's that are...
