Update: Received reply from DVA. The annotations on My VAC simply confirms SRB and Pension Adj were previously paid out in years prior. Thank you for the responses. Cheers.

Former Ombudsman Guy Parent identified the error(s) and brought it to the attn of the then Minister MacAulay who promptly took action with the corrective payment. Most were compensated, however there were more errors and numerous plaintiffs/class actions came about. Approx 5 class actions were amalgamated into one class action "Manuge et al." As previously discussed, there are numerous names associated with it. This class action has since concluded and as of Mar 18, 2024 (payments to follow).

The SRB was discontinued as of Apr 2019 I believe and those entitled were paid out. The Sean Bruyea class action is mainly about the SRB but has been very quiet! Most members of the SRB class action should have received a letter from VAC regarding the "Opt Out" option? Now we wait.

This is the duplicate screenshot notice on my VAC account under both the SRB and Disability Pension Corrective Payment areas. Perhaps I am interpreting it incorrectly? Time will tell.

Does anyone have information as to why on My VAC Account two entries "Disability Pension Corrective Payment" and "Supplementary Retirement Benefit" with a "More Info" click button followed by a sum amount explanation? Is this a pending deposit amount for May and/or does this pertain to a legal class action resolution? Many thanks.

Thank you Kramer, I was unsure as well as there are several class actions ongoing, but I didn't realize they were amalgamated aka lawyer Daniel Wallace and plaintiff Dennis Manuge class actions. Appreciate the clarification. Will see at the end of May if anything is deposited as I don't believe to date I have received retroactive amounts pertaining to SRB. Csat has always been so informative and helpful members, thank you.

Thank you for the reply. I don't log on often either but this was out of the normal. Just wondering if it has to do with the SRB Bruyea lawsuit outcomes? I did message DVA so if and when I get an explanation, I will post on CSAT in case others are seeing the same on their accounts. Take care.
