This class action concerns delays in the processing of immediate pension entitlements owed to veterans who are discharged from the Canadian Armed Forces. The class action is against the Attorney General of Canada and alleges, among other things, that Canada has engaged in chronic, excessive and unreasonable delay in the payment of pensions to discharged members of the Canadian Armed Forces. It is alleged that through mismanagement, Canada has forced discharged members of the Canadian Armed Forces to wait weeks, months and in some instances years, before receiving their pension payments.
The statement of claim, issued on June 30, 2017, was commenced on behalf of all members of the Canadian Forces – Reserve Force Pension Plan and the Canadian Forces – Regular Force Pension Plan who were entitled upon release to an Immediate Annuity, Transfer Value, Annual Allowance or Bridge Benefit between March 1, 2007 and the present.
