Thank you for clarifying that and for validating that question.
As you know, the DND and Veterans Affairs have different standards when assessing injuries and disabilities and determining whether or not they are service related.
This can lead to situations of veterans being medically released from the CAF, yet when they go to VAC for help, they're told their injury is not, in fact, service-related. This creates a huge gap, and many veterans end up falling though the cracks, as we've learned through numerous meetings.
Why do DND and VAC have different injury assessment standards? What needs to be done in order to harmonize these injury assessment standards?
