Canadian Veterans Deserve a Royal Commission on Disability Benefits

Petition by Matt Edwards St. John's, Canada 1,196 Supporters Sign Matt's petition

I served in the Canadian Armed Forces as a primary reservist from 1999 until I was medically released in 2012. Canadian veterans have seen a huge decline in their benefits for risking life & limb. The lifelong Pension Act pension was deemed too expensive & replaced by a "suite of benefits" in 2006 under the much criticized New Veterans Charter.

There should be a Royal Commission into this matter to find out why the disabled veteran, after placing life & limb on the line for the nation, deserves such shabby treatment.

For example, from 1976-2012, Canada deprived the disabled veterans in receipt of both the Pension Act pension & the Canadian Forces' Service Income Support Income Plan (SISIP) of $1.9 Billion as an indirect interception of their pension by way of accounting for it and reducing the SISIP payment.

Another much maligned example is the Pension Act offset from the Earnings Loss Benefit as Canada did NOT reverse it's pension offset from 2006-2012. WHY? They did it for the SISIP offset from 1976-2012!

The SISIP pension clawback was ruled to be unlawful, democratic nations should not treat veterans unlawfully as they are the epitome of good citizens, willing to sacrifice ALL for the greater good!

Other court actions are coming to fix other unlawful actions.

A Royal Commission might be the only way to get to the bottom of this long-standing abuse, please sign this petition & share widely.
