Cuts to Canada's Veterans Affairs pension advocates threaten veterans' access to legal help, despite high success rates.
Unions and Canadian MPs warn that upcoming cuts to Veterans Affairs Canada’s Bureau of Pension Advocates could harm veterans seeking legal help with disability benefit claims.
Nearly 100 temporary jobs—about 44% of the workforce, including 24 lawyers—will be eliminated as temporary funding ends March 31, despite the bureau’s 89% success rate in appeals.
The government says the reduction is a return to permanent funding and normal operations, but critics fear rising demand and fewer staff will lead to longer wait times and reduced access to critical support.
