Summary:
The Commission determined that the claimant received a "retiring allowance" this constituted earning, therefore, allocated the money according to her normal weekly earnings. The claimant say’s that the fund have not been received and will not have access to the funds as it will be going into a special fund until she reaches 65 years of age. This was a program developed by the military many years ago, it was offered as an incentive for dedicated, superior work performance for Reservists. It was meant to be in lieu of a Reserve Force Pension Plan. Whether the claimant takes the money or has the money put into an RRSP, it does not change the fact that the monies are earnings for benefit purposes. The claimant's appeal is dismissed.
