Please ignore the above comments as the poster has obviously never attended a SISIP brief before. CF members can and do pay into a life insurance plan which fully covers them whilst in theatre.
This extra $250,000 payment is in lieu of SISIP and SDB (yes they still exist Kevin). This particular payment is from the Department of Veteran Affairs not DND. It reflects the changes to DVA policies and how the money is distributed. DVA life long pensions no longer exist, instead we have lump sum cash payments.
