My illness is post 2006. No Pension Act for me. Steve

Instead of CIA aren't you entitled to PIA if your injuries/illness meets the criteria? Not too familiar with the Pension Act benefits. Steve

My percentage is based on longevity, etc as described by my family doctor. ADL's do play a part but not a large part. ADL's come into effect for CIA. Since I don't meet the ADL's and medical component (amputee, etc) of CIA I don't qualify for CIA even though I am DEC. I have a new application in...

The re-assessment took as long as it did because I needed to be stable enough for the doctor to make an assessment on my condition and what my chances were for survival. Re-assessment couldn't have been done quicker. It took quite awhile for my body to heal from the operation (very major...

I thought it was caused from all the very filthy air in Afghanistan and Syria when I was in both of these places. But, it turns out that I had a note on my file that stated I was exposed to burning asbestos in the early 80's. This was good enough to connect the dots in my favour that my cancer...

Hi iltis1994, I was red flagged for my disability (cancer). It took approximately 4 weeks from submission of my claim to a decision (approved 5/5ths). It took another 6 months for the re-assessment. I needed to be stable enough after my operation before a re-assessment could be made. Steve

Thanks for the GreenArmyChick and BeachExplorer. Much appreciated. I am not expecting to be approved for CIA, but, I had to try to put this to rest once and for all. Steve1959

Thanks Teager. I will be contacting the Ombudsman for their input. Notwithstanding, I don't think that the CIA policy was written for veterans with medical issues such as mine. C'est la vie. Steve

Teager, When I was denied CIA (and CIA review) in January/February 2018 it was because I didn't meet the "time remaining" in the military component of CIA, nor did I meet the medical component of CIA (blind, amputee, etc). I figure that since I am now DEC with the numerous medical conditions...

Teager, BeachExplorer and GreenArmyChick, I am in a situation similar to your questions and responses. I have been approved a disability benefit at 109% (NVC) with numerous consequential claims that have been approved but no percentage as I am already over 100%. All claims are of a physical...
