Veteran

Are you having financial difficulties because of low or no income? The Canadian Forces Income Support is a tax-free, monthly benefit to help low-income Veterans, survivors, and dependent children.

If you are a veteran, the Income Replacement Benefit maintains your income while you are taking part in the VAC rehabilitation program. This can also help you if you are the survivor or dependent child of a CAF member or Veteran who died due to an illness or injury related to their service.

This program is paid to a spouse or common-law partner and dependent children if a Canadian Armed Forces member has died as a result of a service-related injury or disease if the death was within 30 days after the injury occurred or the disease was contracted.

Veterans Benefits are available to assist veterans and their families after an injury, during transition from military to civilian life, and provides access to supportive services throughout their lives.
