I can tell you he is for the part correct, in that ELB does end if you complete the Rehab program, now are you all out of funds no, cause you can then get
other support called Canadian Forces Income Support, again which is VIA VAC, So to start, again, you can keep this to your self, and or if he replies at least
you'll have some answers....
Now here is a LINK to Parliament where you can read about
ELB which is Chapter 21, Section 18, and I'll just quote the part.. So 18.(3) states
Duration of benefit
(3) Subject to subsection (4) and section 21, the earnings loss benefit is payable to a veteran until the earlier of
(a) the day on which the veteran completes the rehabilitation plan or the vocational assistance plan,
(b) the day on which the rehabilitation plan or the vocational assistance plan is canceled, and
(c) the day on which the veteran attains the age of 65 years.
So, yes if you complete the rehab program and are able to work you can loose ELB, but as I said there is other Support which is this Canadian Forces Income Support which you can find right Here and it states the following
You may qualify for Canadian Forces Income Support if you:
* are a CF Veteran who no longer qualifies for Earnings Loss Benefits and you:
o successfully completed the Rehab Program;
o need financial help because your household income is not enough to meet your basic needs;
o are looking for a suitable job but have not been able to find one; and
o live in Canada
* no longer qualify for Earnings Loss Benefits, because you:
o have reached the age of 65; or
o are able to return to work.
As for stories about VAC canceling before one completes rehab, well only if you don't do what they want, as in Don't go to Appointments, and or fail to do something they as you to do in response to what you should be doing, or lack of, then VAC does have the power to cancel cause your NOT following the program, Have I heard of any, No
Have I heard of someone personally canceling rehab, Ahh ya, I told them to shove the rehab up the , cause I was so sick and tired of every appointment filling out this form or that form, and or doing this questionnaire, it was endless, and of course they said, well you'll loose ELB I said fine, but I'll keep my sanity, cause everyone kept asking the same question and it's like I've answered this 10 times already, Like don't you get info from VAC, So ya i lost it one day, and said enough was enough, and this was 2 year's into it.
And for the 2nd part, SISIP, it was, back before the NVC that SISIP was for 2 year's, at 75% of your pay, and that if after your 2 year's, if you were determined to be permanent disability, and or actually totally disabled I think the wording was, then yes you can get SISIP for life or was it 65, but again in 93 when I was released heck Under the terminology of totally incapacitated not to many people actually got on SISIP because you didn't qualify under there definition, as it is today, I can't answer that as to if people are getting it permanently SISIP that is.
Anyhow how that might help, or be of some information and see if the person greenBarret01 replies to your closing of that post.
