# 2020-116 Pay and Benefits, Capital Improvements in accordance with article 8.2.10 of the Canadian Forces Integrated Relocation Program, House Hunting Trip

Case summary

F&R Date: 2020-07-30

The grievor disagreed with the decision to deny him the Capital Improvement (CI) benefit on the sale of his home on 30 July 2018. The Committee found that, in accordance with the revised Canadian Forces Integrated Relocation Program Directive, the home had to be sold prior to 19 April 2018 to qualify for the CI benefit. Consequently, the Committee found that the grievor was not entitled to the benefit and recommended that the grievance be denied.
