Yes on closer inspection, it does seem like it will exclude anyone pensions after 2006. Bummer.

So anyone who got benefits under the NVC (i.e. anyone who got benefits after 2006) won't qualify? That seems unlikely given the enourmous number of vets who qualify. Are there really 300,000+ living vets if we remove everyone who qualified in 2007 and later?

That's already been up for a while, I don't think it really clears anything up. Are we talking pensions both under the old veterans act AND the New Veterans Charter or one but not the other? When it says "pension act for disability" is that a Disability Award (a specific benefit) or just small...

I don't think you do. The one thing that IS clear on the website is that if you already have a preexisting payout scheme set up with VAC, you'll automatically get paid. The reason nobody has yet is simply because nobody HAS been paid out yet, whether you filed a claim or not. I suspect the "file...

Someone over on the CSAT forum said they called yesterday and was told that anyone on IRB and/or DEC between 2002-2020 also qualifies, for approximately $1000-$1500 for every year they were on those things. That would be in addition to any layouts given for lump sums. But yeah it is a mess it...

Yeah doesn't sound like anyone's got anything on any of the forums. Given how huge the payout class is (300,000+ vets who have recieved disability claims has to be upwards of 90%+ of living vets) surely somebody would have gotten something by now if they have indeed paid it out. It never...

So did anyone get paid out anything or what?

I mean, 330,000 vets has to be pretty close to all of them, if you've gotten any sort of award I'm sure you qualify for something.

around $816 million, with an estimated 330,000 vets affected

Read a little about this, they say the average amount will be $2000-$3000, but since that's the average, obviously some will be higher. It's mostly related to not paying interest on backpay owed, I think the main thing that kicked it off was that top up we got back in 2018 for those of us who...

But like...the Comservatives are the ones who CHANGED from the old PA to the NVC. They did it for the primary purpose TO save money (or put another way, to give vets less money). If not for the Conservatives, we’d all still be under the same PA as ever. Regardless of how one feels the Libs have...

At the end of the day, the ETB is less a veterans benefit and more of a recruitment program and should be thought of as such. “Join the CF, do 6 years and we pay for your school!”  is clearly more of a tool for recruiters then anything.The fact that it’s available to everyone is evidence of...
