OTTAWA — It’s been just over three years since Veterans Affairs Canada released a strategy to tackle its 23,000 backlogged benefits applications, and that file has landed on the desk of a new minister for the first time.
A spokesperson for the department said 5,547 cases are still incomplete beyond the 16 weeks as of June 30, shy of the department’s goal to get the number of backlogged cases below 5,000 by the summer of 2023. “We know that the limited statistics that we have are telling us that women veterans are largely not doing as well as male veterans after service,” Blaney said.
It’s a clear example of the way problems for women in the Armed Forces have become problems for veterans, too.
