In September, the Canadian Armed Forces released CANFORGEN 152/23 announcing amendments to Compensation of Benefits Instructions (CBI) Chapter 211 Service Benefits for Ill and Injured Members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

“The purpose of this message is to announce that the Treasury Board (TB) has approved amendments to CBI Chap 211, Eff 1 Aug 23,” stated the CANFORGEN.

The amendments include:

  • Expanding the scope of authorized health care providers who may assess a member’s need for particular benefits.
  • Clarifying the non-requirement for quarterly reassessments of a member’s permanent condition to continue receiving a particular benefit.
  • Authorizing the CAF to approve additional amounts for the home assistance benefit when deemed necessary.
  • Improving clarity and flexibility of the next-of-kin travel benefit.

The CANFORGEN noted, “CBI Chap. 11 will be posted to the CBI intranet and internet pages. All personnel are reminded that the official version is the PDF version.”

Questions regarding benefits can be directed here.

Admittedly the Queen of Typos, Cyndi Mills strives for none, but one or two always seems to slip in. She apologizes! Over the last 29 years Cyndi has had the opportunity to move around the country with her husband, Scott and their four children. Having lived in Chilliwack, Edmonton, London, and Petawawa. She stumbled into the world of journalism by accident – looking for a career that could give her the flexibility to work from home to be with her children and support her husband's military career. Cyndi is also a military parent as her two oldest children are in the military. Raising her third and fourth teenagers, she tries to keep sane by walking, gardening, writing, and spending time with her family while running Canadian Military Family Magazine.
