I dug into whether a lump sum DI payout is possible. I am at the end of my mind dealing with DI. They push and push and now 3 yrs into appeals for CPP. Injurious and life crushing.
May not make economic sense on the books to get a payout, but what isn’t also economic sense for me is the bloody offset. If I fight in other arenas and get any payout, then they rake it in. If I try to start work, they’ll offset that too. Or cut all of the DI. I can’t live with a noose my neck. I’m not asking for more money. I’m trying to recover what I lost which was six figures for 8 years. DI will never make up for that. It is more than likely I’ll end up owing more than I make from them.
Lifetime in DI terms means 65 years and being thoroughly sick of them and they’re bullshit that I wanted to look into not having to deal with all the time.
I was told by DI rep for contract 012500, the
federal gov’t does not “endorse non-litigated settlements. It is their choice as to how they chose to operate.” Therefore, adhering to their wishes, the DI cannot put forward a request for settlement.”
So the employer must request it.
I got stonewalled when putting this forward to the employer. HR would NOT respond - silent. It’s been over a year. I can’t get an answer. I have raised it to the Director general to the Ombuds person. Nothing. Ignoring.
It’s more important to get out from under these offset enslavers than anything else. It’s a prison.
I am retired and will never ever go back on DI. I would refuse to leave a workplace snd MAKE THEM make it safe. Big mistake to leave snd let the bullies stay. The employer stalled so long and blocked everything, grinding it to a halt that they got off Scott free.
Anyone who is retired fed try to get a lump sum payout?
