The above is to do with the new AFPS05 which will pay you a tax free lump sum depending on the Level (tier) of severity.

For the old farts like me on AFPS75 it it's Non-Attributable Invaliding you will get an immediate pension & tax free lump sum @ 3x the yearly pension which depends on time served.

Attributable Invaliding you could recieve a tax free lump sum and tax free pension but to cut a long story short these will be in result of investigation and assessments of % disability by the Veterans Agency.

All pensions are index linked

Thanks. I was just wondering. My BIL is getting truckloads of cash from DND/Veterans Affairs and I was interested to find out if that's normal.

Re: Army pension

Thankyou for all the help, I'm going to contact the Canadian tax office direct and the Canadian Veterens agency and see what they say as well.

I'll let you know if I get anything back
