Thank you for your question. Very quickly, the disability pension that is administered by Veterans Affairs Canada is provided to either serving members or veterans when they release for disabilities that are related to service. Veterans can apply at any point in time. In fact, we have veterans applying sometimes 40 or 50 years later. There's no time limit in terms of the length of time that you served. All you need to demonstrate is that there's a link between your disability and your military service.
