The veterans charter, which was voted and passed unanimously by the House of Commons, was not studied. I and my fellow service members and veterans feel it was a way for the government to save money by putting an absolute cap on the amount of money that you could get. Initially, it was just an absolute cap, but now they have said that it was not even remotely fair so we can get a lifetime pension. However, we can't get the same amount of pension. That started with the new veterans charter in 2006.
For my skin cancer that could well kill me, I have 5% disability. For my bad feet from wearing my boots, I have 5% disability.
My skin cancer was worth about 80 bucks a month at the time when they awarded it. My bad feet were worth $360 a month, because I applied for the problems with my feet before the veterans charter came in and I applied for the skin cancer after. It's that simple.
