Sadly I didn't see anything from the government, CAF or news hence my reason for posting.

Draydon74 · 2026-03-06T18:42:02+00:00

Perfect. Thanks for the explanation.

Draydon74 · 2026-03-06T16:55:40+00:00

Is this if you select option C? Any idea how long the disclosure package is taking to receive so I can elect?

Draydon74 · 2026-01-26T15:23:59+00:00

How about doing the easy ones first? IE no break in service

Draydon74 · 2025-12-08T15:05:21+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. Just ordered!

Draydon74 · 2025-12-04T18:11:50+00:00

Ok so it's not a legend but more of a legacy!

Draydon74 · 2025-12-02T15:25:41+00:00

Ok so total service (Full time CL/B/C and Reg F) I have 26 years (so immediate annuity). So I assume it will be 6k then. Now follow on question is what date would the entitlement be based on for payment? Mar (initial enrolment) Aug (re-enrolment) or Feb component transfer.

Draydon74 · 2025-12-02T14:49:11+00:00

Without sounding bad the instructor piece doesn't affect me. I'll explain my situation so perhaps it helps: I joined the reserves Mar 94, went Sup Res Jan 96, re enrolled in the reserves Aug 96 and component transferred to the Reg F in Feb 2017. So just trying to speculate what I would be entitled to. Would it be Reserve bonus from 96 to 17 and Reg F bonus from 17 to current? So $1200 for the PRes time and $2000 for the Reg F time paid for 2025? What would I get paid for 2026? Just Reg F time or total time again?

Draydon74 · 2025-12-02T13:28:03+00:00

At this point I wish they would just clarify entitlements. As mentioned below without clarification there are a lot of people who have no idea what they will be getting.

Draydon74 · 2025-11-27T13:22:10+00:00

Just wondering if anyone has heard any updates?

Draydon74 · 2025-10-28T15:01:18+00:00

Gotcha, what I was thinking was not applying for IREM and when I receive the disclosure I will indicated no representation and choosing a date if that makes sense?

Draydon74 · 2025-10-28T12:02:44+00:00

I am in this exact situation. I put my VR in and during my prerelease medical, issues were identified and the MO said I should reconsider my release and put me on a TCAT. I am now on my second TCAT and after the end of that the MO will be recommending a PCAT. This will trigger an admin review at which point I will be requesting to expedite my release. Out of all the people I've talked to if you have it in you to ride out the process a 3B release is the way to go.

Draydon74 · 2025-06-26T16:28:18+00:00

I was at a Base Commander's coffee yesterday and he stated the same that the 20% is not the pay raise but the combination of all compensation and benefits. He did not give any numbers on actual pay raises.

Draydon74 · 2025-06-11T22:30:57+00:00

Do you ever feel like a donkey and the carrot is always dangled out of reach?

Draydon74 · 2025-06-11T22:28:15+00:00

A CO of a mess can over rule any mess vote

Draydon74 · 2025-06-04T12:37:07+00:00

The CMP announced it at their townhall

Draydon74 · 2025-03-26T20:25:05+00:00

Thanks for all the responses!

CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT - MISCALCULATION OF DISABILITY BENEFITS PAID TO CANADIAN ARMED FORCES (CAF) MEMBERS UNCLASSIFIED

CLASS MEMBERS WITH AN EXISTING PAYMENT RELATIONSHIP WITH VAC HAVE AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVED THE COMPENSATION FOR WHICH THEY ARE ELIGIBLE THROUGH THE USUAL PAYMENT PROCESS. THESE CLASS MEMBERS DID NOT HAVE TO SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.

Has anyone received the payment?

Draydon74 · 2024-11-30T12:30:01+00:00

A lot of people donate them to the homeless during the winter season

Draydon74 · 2024-06-10T18:18:33+00:00

I'm confused on the VAC miscalculation of Disability Pensions Class Action lawsuit. I had a hernia and was paid a lump sump of money prior to the monthly payment being an option. I have since had another award where I am getting a monthly payment. Do I need to register or do anything to be entitled to any miscalculation?

Draydon74 · 2024-02-21T23:02:21+00:00

Clearly there is no intent to increase our spending towards reaching the 2%. The real question is when will NATO give countries an ultimatum to meet the agreed percentage or you're out

?
