So I've always heard form pretty well everyone "don't get frustrated & VR, wait for your medical release if you are entitled to one".
Now (unsurprisingly) my file is taking forever to get to Ottawa and back and this is only going to take longer as COVID19 is making the backlog worse, I've become that frustrated guy that just wants to be out and move on from the CAF.
I have recently been informed that because I have an awarded claim from VAC and that it's from injuries sustained in a SDA I could simply VR and still get all the same entitlements as if I were to medical release?
If it's all the same I'd VR tomorrow but I'm suspicious and worried that either there are entitlements left on the table I wouldn't then have access to, or that after the VR pin is pulled I'd stand to loose everything on a technicality?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
My details:
PCAT for PTSD since 2012 (low risk MELs requires screening to deploy)
PCAT for hearing since 2018 (low risk requires hearing aids/no loud noise exposure)
X2 back to back TCATs for PTSD with the 2nd one coming up for review soon (been on RTD half days for about 20 months)
Thank you in advanced!
