The death benefit you are mentioning is through Veterans Affairs Canada. At SISIP we also have life insurance and we don't have this provision. So once death occurs a claim will be paid, because a member can voluntarily take out life insurance up to $400,000 on their own. So even if they're killed in an operational theatre such as Afghanistan, we will pay the claim. We don't have an exclusion for a war theatre, so we pay the amount.
This specific question relates to the death benefit paid by VAC, so I cannot answer that question.
