Miscalculations of Disability Pensions Class Action - Manuge vs. His Majesty the King.

[Ignatius]

Does this Manuge Miscalculation of Disability Pensions Class Action include any Veterans who received multiple Disability Benefits Lump Sum amounts? I'm guessing we are eligible correct? If so, when should we be notified of when we can file a claim to receive compensation?

This is more of an "off-the-cuff" question. You would think there would be a Class Action on the go regarding the exposure to mould, lead and asbestos (poor air quality) while serving onboard the old Navy ships.

Also I'm surprised there is not a Class Action on the exposure to lead and asbestos while living in the now torn down old PMQ's at CFB Uplands in Ottawa.

This two situations regarding exposure to mould, lead and asbestos on Navy ships and also in the PMQ's at CFB Uplands is definitely work a Class Action Lawsuit, if not one currently in progress already?

There was one proposed In the early stages, unsure where it is now but these things move slow.

I suffer from constant lung issues and was contacted from a lawyer August 2020. They were looking for Class members to start the suit.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to secure a medical diagnosis backing up my symptoms. I had a battery of breathing tests and others done.

Or firing the 84mm Carl Gustav multiple times (and M-72s), no ear defenders, getting your bell rung over and over again. I believe the Americans are pushing for compensation for that
