Last June, I applied for a Veterans Affairs Canada pension due to a service condition.
Last week, I received notice my application had moved to the decision phase even though all required documentation had been received in October 2019.
Now I have been informed it takes 64 weeks to process.
This is the compensation and support I am worthy of after 28.5 years’ service to my country. Promises have been made during the past two previous federal elections by Justin Trudeau to expedite and act in a timely fashion.
Nothing has been done.
I lose brothers and sisters from my military family monthly due to pure lack of action from our government. Canadian citizens support veterans but politicians are elected by our citizens and fail to do so. Almost daily our government pours money out to support refugees and foreign countries.
I am not asking anyone to help expedite my application but am asking for support for all veterans.
We have done our part. Please do yours.
