I want to correct the assertion made earlier that the government lost in court. The government settled a lawsuit, and settling a court action is a way to avoid the burden on both parties in a lengthy and expensive trial. Settling a court action does not establish that there was any kind of error or failure; it simply resolves the current claim.
The fact remains that VAC has been calculating these benefits as originally intended, and the amendments to the legislation at this time avoid any perceived ambiguity that may continue.
Thank you.
