Wounded veterans who have served this country say they're facing a new battle: Government bureaucracy.
Cobham had filled out the pages and pages of documents for the Canada Revenue Agency before, so he knew the routine."To be excluded for being a veteran, and a wounded veteran, a disabled veteran, I think that's the worst," he said.
"As soon as those words came out of my mouth [and] she found out I was a veteran, she told me she would not help me." Owen Parkhouse, 1st vice-president of the Royal Canadian Legion provincial command and membership chair on P.E.I., says he knows how onerous the paperwork can be for veterans living with a disability.
Last year, Veterans Affairs said it updated its medical questionnaire to make it shorter and less complex. The department said it does reimburse doctors "at a reasonable rate."
