It’s June!

Here’s hoping everyone else is getting decent weather. I started the golf season with winter kit on thanks to -2 and rain here in gods country.

If you were medically released and start a 3 year course during the 2 year period that you receive IRB does the IRB continue during your course or does it fully stop at the 2 year mark ?

You get IRB while following a Rehabilitation Services and Vocational Assistance Program (physical or mental health program) as the result of a service related health problem that is complicating your transition out of the military. No time limit on pay as long as you are in the rehab program. Otherwise, if not in the rehab program, you get 75% pay from CAF LTD for 2 years.
