I agree with what Mr. Fraser just stated.
For me as well, when I was medically released from the armed forces, I was not aware that to even receive SISIP you had to have 120 days post-release and you needed to have been medically released.
So as Mr. Fraser just said, it starts with release procedures. Many of us have not had a very good experience with that. Also, the information was minimal.
On the benefit of the doubt, I agree. It's in the Pension Act. It's stated everywhere. These are golden words that we hear all the time, but they don't seem to be applied at any time. If these words were respected and the veteran were respected, we wouldn't have any need for appeals. We wouldn't have a need for the Veterans Review and Appeal Board. We wouldn't have a need for so many bureaucrats and paper-pushers in the department, because there would be no need to appeal if the benefit of the doubt were to be applied. To me, they're fine words, but no one seems to respect them.
