Instructions

• If you received a benefit from VAC between 2003 and 2010 and it was under the Pension Act, you may receive a corrective payment because of a discrepancy in our calculations.
• If you are legally entitled to inherit assets from the estate of a deceased recipient, you may apply to receive a corrective payment if you are eligible.
• If the disability for which you are receiving VAC benefits worsens and medical evidence can show this change in your condition, you can request a reassessment.
• If the reassessment confirms that your condition has worsened, your disability benefit will be adjusted accordingly – unless you are already receiving the maximum amount of the benefit.
