Detention Benefits

You may qualify for a tax-free lump sum detention benefit if you are a CAF member or CAF Veteran who, while serving in the Forces:

• was detained by an enemy, opposing force or person or group carrying out a terrorist activity;

or

• evaded capture or escaped from any power.

You can read more about this benefit in the "New Veterans Charter" Act at Justice Canada's Website: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-16.8/page-17.html#h-18
