Hey, I’ve been in the reg force for 7 years. I don’t want to bore you guys with the basics of why… but I’m 90% sure I have ADHD that has never been diagnosed until now. I have a docs appt in a few days and will mention it. My question is: what would happen if I get diagnosed while in the...

Reg

I was wondering if you guys can help me figure something out. Im very against the vaccination passport (this is not the discussion I want to have). What I am curious about is if we are allowed to go to a protest against it, as a CAF member. I’m not sure if there are regulations against this...

On a side note, I noticed on a Facebook group that some people have waited 8 weeks to receive their lump sum! Crazy!!

So rude sometimes... I try to give them the benefit of the doubt and tell myself they may have been having a bad day, but customer service is customer service. Be polite and courteous.

Hmm, took 2 weeks from the day I requested the paperwork for the lump sum to the day I got it in my inbox. I sent the request in that same day. It’s been 18 days now that the request is in. I wonder what makes the wait time so different for people.

I got 10 and I only had a prescription for anti depressants that apparently would work. I have not tried long enough to see if it really helps because I don’t want to become dependant. But that was enough for me to get 10. I would ask for them to look over it again.

How long did it take for you guys to receive lump some once the paperwork for the request was submitted? I know the time frame says 6 weeks. But I’m curious as to people’s personal experience. I submitted it Oct 18.

How does it work to get a lump sum instead of monthly? How long does it take from “completed” to received?

Just received the “completed” notice! When I go in my VAC account, it says I am receiving 115$ for pain and suffering compensation. I thought they did payments in lump sums?

I put my claim in for Tinnitus feb 25 2019. I just got informed that my claim is in step 3 now. The estimated wait time is 24 weeks. I’m just curious as to when this 24 weeks starts because of the wording in the "Track my application" section: When I click on step 3: "Your claim is at the...

The WHO recommends breastfeeding until the age of 2. Maternity leave is only until the age of 1. My question is: what are our rights as breastfeeding mothers when it comes to being deployed or sent on exercises (field ex or sailing etc). * I am Navy and will be sailing. I still breastfeed my...

How long were you guys in step 2 for? The waiting time on the website doesn’t come in effect until step 3 and I’ve been stuck in step 2 for weeks now...
