Just curious if anyone has successfully applied for support on a new injury after release.
I currently have an awarded injury on both my legs. This injury basically ended up making my walking ability restricted and difficult for long periods or even what would be considered normal use.
Compounding this, everything with my legs have gotten weaker over time.
Last Summer I ended up having a small fall. Very minor to be honest, and ended up fully rupturing an Achilles. After consultations with my Family Doctor and the Specialist with these injuries, they attributed that it is likely connected to my other issues.
I applied for the condition, explaining how I felt it was connected, and they gave me an assessment that the doctor filled out and sent back.
The application is currently at the decision making stage, and has been since October. To me it looks like they started a separate assessment for it, instead of reassessing a previous condition.
I've been going to Physio awhile, which VAC has approved for me already. But I'm roughly only about 20% recovered to my previous poor walking ability.
I'm just curious how they will view this and if they will write it off as a non service related injury.
