A group of disabled Canadian veterans will take their lawsuit over lifetime pensions to the Supreme Court of Canada, members of the Equitas veterans society announced Wednesday.
The application for Leave to Appeal was made to the Supreme Court of Canada today by a group of six appellants injured in Afghanistan and seeks to gain parity with the previous Pension Act struck down in 2006 and replaced with lump sum payments via the New Veterans Charter, which Equitas says leaves vets “considerably worse off.”
