Canadian Military Pension Claw Back
By way of a newspaper article, and this web site I found out this weekend I may not be ready for retirement after all.
Our government sees fit to ‘claw back’ part of our military pension once a person reaches the magic age of 65 to the tune of $575.00 per month or more. The details are explained on the web site mentioned above. Also some of the less than ideal experiences that anyone in the military has had to endure that civilian life doesn’t get to participate in are listed as well.
There is a movement under way to have this changed. Let’s hope it works. This is money that service people and RCMP have paid into from their own contributions. It does not belong to anyone else.
If you know any service, ex-service or RCMP personnel, get them to read and participate in this site’s movement.
After all, if it wasn’t for the military members of years gone by, and the present, the people that make these decisions wouldn’t have the country they have today to make them in……The Year Of The Veteran…
