About this service
From the organization's website: https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/family-caregiver/death-and-bereavement/survivors-pension
The amount you receive through a survivors pension depends on the assessed level of your spouses disability pension. If their pension was assessed at 48 percent or greater, you will receive a full survivors pension (see maximum rate in Table B of the disability pension rate table). If their pension was assessed between 5 and 47 percent, your survivors pension will be one-half the amount they were receiving.
Who can use it?
Survivors pension If you receive the continuation of their disability pension, after one year you will automatically receive a survivors pension. If the Veteran had a disability assessment of 5% or less, they were paid that as a lump-sum. As a result, it is not possible to provide any amount to their survivor. However, if you believe that your spouse had a disability related to their military service that would have exceeded the 5% assessment, you can make a posthumous claim for a disability benefit.
