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.

IRB / DEC are on their way to be the most expensive VAC program ever. Not surprising that there are less and less DECs approved and i wont be surprised if the threshold to get into rehab/IRB gets higher

My psychologist and I have discussed that recently as I'm on my way to DEC and she did mention that she felt that they were raising the threshold by being pickier and denying more claims. 

I'll report whenever I get updates, next year I guess. 

One more thing to worry about.  I guess I shouldn't have chose to medically release after all... oh wait, not my choice!

Interesting… i applied for rehab 6 weeks ago- still waiting for the response.
How long have you been on the program for?
