Military and RCMP Vets and Members The 75% LTD Issue
Article Content
Military and RCMP members....I hope you pass this along to everyone in your contact lists please.
I have an excellent free lance journalist doing research on a story exposing the fact that any disabled and medically released members that receive both SISIP LTD benefits and a Veterans Affairs disability pension, have the total amount of their disability pensions deducted from their so called 75% LTD payments. She has the military ombudsman's report released in October of 2003, and she has an interview set up with my local member of Parliament, Mr Peter Stoffer this coming Thursday. He has called me personally to express his support in getting the appropriate ministers on board to rectify this situation. It will take legislation to change this, so anything we can do to illuminate the issue, I feel we should.
If you know anyone that has experienced this first hand please ask them to contact me by phone or by email as the more voices we have in the fight, the better the chances of getting Ottawa off their arses. My personal loss financially to date is just under $10 000.00, and I only receive a 20% pension. Imagine some of our brothers/sisters who have suffered serious injuries etc....they are being robbed blind.
Your assistance would be appreciated!
