(S) …and the Month of the Military Child.

(J) Veterans Affairs Canada and National Defence recently unveiled the new collection of benefits included in the Pension for Life program.

This benefits package includes compensation for Pain and Suffering, Additional Pain and Suffering when encountering difficulties in life after service, and Income Replacement Benefits when experiencing lost career progression transitioning to civilian life.

Canada is committed to ensuring the men and women who have served in uniform have access to the resources they need.

Pension for Life is in effect as of April 1. Visit the related links for more info and to apply online.

(J) The strength and support they provide to their families is an important contribution to the well-being of the member who, in turn, help protect Canada.

(S) That’s it for us. Thank you so much for watching. See you next time…
