In 1993, I was diagnosed with a cervical hernia. I got compensation at the 25% level for that. At the time, they didn't split pensions.
But when I was in the infantry with the Royal 22nd Regiment, my work required me to use my knees in a particular way. So my knees started to bother me a lot. After applying for compensation and appealing the decision twice, I got a pension. But, to my utter surprise, when I got my huge 5% pension, I saw that it had been split and that I was only being given four-fifths of it. I wondered what this new splitting was and why even more was being taken away from the little compensation we were entitled to.
I have all my documents with me, but I did not photocopy them. I have everything here. I do not know where the four-fifths or the two-fifths come from. We are given 25% or 15%, but that amount is split into fifths. So we don't actually get 25%, but two-fifths or three-fifths of the 10% or the 15% we are entitled to. That is new.
