From what I understand this lawsuit is mostly to do with interest and punitive damages as VAC has paid most of the class back already. For most these are very small amounts.

I can't speak for the mental health aspect there are people who have DEC due to mental health though. If you have another condition put it in right away as it will only stand to support you in other benefits including a DEC decision. I would make sure any issues such as anxiety in your current...

The challenges that could arise would be proving that you met the criteria at that time. I do see your point but I believe if you have a case manager they normally advise you to apply when they know you meet most of the criteria. I get there are veterans that have issues due to injury or...

Are you collecting a pension or any other type of income? If so this could explain the reduced amount.

Technically 75% of 5075 is 3806 so what your getting is correct. This lawsuit speaks to monthly allowances received at time of release like PLD and should have been included with your salary. If you were not receiving an allowance on the day you released then you would not be entitled.to any...

But DEC is a VAC program not a SISIP LTD one.

Why would it continue beyond the 2 years if you didn't qualify as totally disabled? It's pretty straight forward you get whatever allowance you had on your release date for regs and at time of injury for class C. Does not matter if you moved to a different PLD area afterwards it's all about...

I'm guessing if you check your profile on VAC or possibly the CFIS application that your spouse and kids were never mentioned and if they were then VAC just failed. Hopefully you get back pay for the years missed but if you never mentioned your spouse or kids to VAC then that will work against...
