I have a note here that the months leading up to their release give them an opportunity to fill out the necessary applications while they have access to all the relevant information within CAF and are still on full salary. However, once members have been released, it becomes more difficult to obtain certain medical information from military personnel, which can add to the length of time required. Of course, that's because...with the disability program there isn't a concern whether the injuries are due to service or some other reason.
