Hey Everyone,
Ignore the username. Made it many years ago while I was in the process of OT to MP.
I have an approved VAC Claim for PTSD (47%) which is related to my service in Afghanistan/Iraq. This injury occurred while serving in the RegF. I hid my injury during my RegF service so I could release and begin work at the civilian police agency I was hired with. I decided to stay in the reserves and transferred to the primary reserve. As things got really bad for me after releasing from the Regf, I decided to seek treatment from an OSI Clinic and received the above diagnosis. I suspected for years I had PTSD but just tried to tough it out unsuccessfully. Fast forward a few years and I have left my job as a civi police officer due to my symptoms becoming too severe.
I am in the process of releasing from the reserves and have been informed I will likely be medically released. My file is with DMILC and I am awaiting their response. I plan on waving disclosure as I have 0 desire for any retention and it is in my mental health's best interest to leave the military completely and as soon as possible so I can begin treatment in the Rehab program and hopefully eventually Voc Rehab as well.
Here is where my question lies. I have applied for the Rehab program with VAC along with the Income Replacement Benefit. After reading through VAC policy, I have came to the understanding that the IRB will be paid at my rank on release from the RegF which was Sergeant. I was bumped down to MCpl in the reserves as I was acting lacking in the RegF. I have spoke with SISIP who informed me I would receive LTD as a reservist as this is my final release. This amount to my understanding is $2700.00 which is substantially less than my RegF salary and my salary I was receiving from my civilian job.
After the above long drawn out explanation of my situation, my question is, will the VAC IRB top me up to the %90 of my salary ( RegF Salary) or am I going to get screwed with the Class A CAF LTD benefit which is less than half of what I was receiving per month while in the RegF. I would like to think I'm going to get topped up as my injury occurred during my RegF service and I am now unable to work because of it but after many years in the military, I have come to expect the worst with these kinds of things. Thanks for any input and experiences shared.
Cheers
