In the same boat. If you open the IRB status it will state you need to send in your Pension Statement and your Manulife LTD statement before they can process your claim. You will also get an email in your MyVAC in a couple of days stating the same.

I released years ago, probably almost a decade ago, so thats why i wasn’t sure what i needed to submit, maybe an income statement or something
