The court order became effective on March 19, 2024 in which they had 9 months to pay. This would bring the deadline December 19, 2024. I guess I was hoping for them to not wait until the deadline and have an earlier payout. I bet the lawyers get their mega millions right away. Lets just hope it won't go into 2025 or they will be in violation of the court order. Then again breaking the rules/laws means nothing to Trudeau's gov't......lol.

Question (phoned one of the law firms, never received a return phone call, might have to see about emailing one by one)

Previous class actions the legal fees and disbursements were claimable on taxes having to do with wage loss (taxable benefit)

Will the legal fees and such in this case be claimable as the majority of payout including interest was negotiated as non taxable, asking this as the fees were taxable for services rendered.

VAC had 9 months, they have 8 months now (for those already having a payment schedule with VAC). For those who need to submit a claim it will be longer...

The payment and information are coming from VAC. The budget is to be read on 16 April 2024. I speculate that we should hear more after the budget.

"The Federal Court has defined the Class as follows:

All members and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and their spouses, common-law partners, dependents, survivors, orphans, and any other individuals, including qualifiable estates of all such persons, who received, at any time between 2003 and December 2023, disability pensions, and other benefits from VAC that were affected by the annual adjustment of the basic pension under section 75 of the Pension Act."

I wish it were as easy as you put it!

I do more than just bitch about genius lawyers who become super enriched by representing veterans.....very little risk for them.

I recently sent correspondent to a judge in one of the class actions. The response I got was....the judge wouldn't hear what I had to say unless it went through all friggin 5 law firms! I went to the judge as a last resort because 3 of the law firms I contacted apparently knew everything and brushed me off. I thought the office of MDLO would be more receptive being ex-military.....man was I wrong........veterans are just a way to the money trough....there is no loyalty just because one was in the military......so sad.

I believe once a vet has been granted the DEC, CM's are obligated to cut ties to assist other vets?

I can confirm once I received PIA in 2015 I was told that I no longer qualified for a CM and was on my own.

I contacted VAC on Friday 22 March 2024 and asked about this class action. VAC phone support is utterly useless and had no answers except to wait and see.
The Law Firms involved need to be more transparent and provide us with more info.
