The Royal Canadian Legion is asking the federal government to grant Veterans automatic entitlement to disability benefits. This would be an immediate means of decreasing the ever-growing backlog of applications to Veterans Affairs.
The Royal Canadian Legion is asking the federal government to grant Veterans automatic entitlement to disability benefits. This would be an immediate means of decreasing the ever-growing backlog of applications to Veterans Affairs. The current process can be onerous and complicated, and without sufficient staff to process the backlog, there is still no end in sight to the current situation.
Automatic entitlement would equal the expeditious way our government has provided COVID-19-related benefits to Canadians during the pandemic, with errors to be corrected later. Our Veterans deserve the same treatment, and we want them to receive their deserved help, now.
