Look at this website:

This should help you out.

Wish there was an easy answer to your financial problem. It is nasty in Alberta right now job wise. It would be nice if there was a veteran group that could financially assist veterans in the short term but not aware of any myself. I can't imagine the great stress you are currently under. Hope your wife finds a job soon.

You cannot receive lump sum for past payment.
But in your situation you could request emergency funds from Veterans.
I would call them to talk about it.

I have had the pension since 2007.

Hello,
have you received your decision after 1st April 2019. If you did you can, all you have to do is call Veterans and request to have the lump sum. Takes about 8 weeks to receive the money

I have been receiving a monthly pension from veterans affairs. Am I able to change it to a lump sum? My wife was laid off work and has been struggling to find a new job (Calgary) we have fallen a couple months behind in our mortgage. We have paid what we can each month. I just don’t want to loose our home. So I was thinking if I can change it to a lump sum that would help us greatly right now and get rid of a lot of stress.

Thank you

it might depend on when you started receiving that monthly payment, have you tried the Legion for help, you don’t have to be a member

Hi,

I have been receiving a monthly pension from veterans affairs. Am I able to change it to a lump sum? My wife was laid off work and has been struggling to find a new job (Calgary) we have fallen a couple months behind in our mortgage. We have paid what we can each month. I just don’t want to loose our home. So I was thinking if I can change it to a lump sum that would help us greatly right now and get rid of a lot of stress.

Thank you
