Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney is set this morning to make an announcement about financial benefits for veterans.
Blaney will speak in Valcarter, Que., His parliamentary secretary, Eve Adams, will be making a similar announcement in Ottawa.
Veterans on disability pensions have been complaining about clawbacks of their separate long-term disability benefits for years, and have fought protacted battles in court with the federal government to recover reductions in their monthly benefits going back decades.
In May, the Federal Court found the government was acting illegally by reducing the veterans' long-term disability benefits. Blaney and Defence Minister Peter MacKay announced in May that the government would not appeal that decision.
"We now have that clarity and it has received considerable legal and judicial oversight," MacKay said in May.
"As a result of that court action, we are now moving forward out of fairness and respect for those veterans to ensure those benefits are fully paid."
More to come
