War Veterans Allowance

The WVA can help you meet your basic financial needs. It is a tax-free monthly payment which can vary based on your sources of income, marital status and if you have dependents. If you qualify for this allowance you can also access emergency funding through the Assistance Fund which provides grants of up to $1,000 (per calendar year) to help pay for an unexpected issue that affects your health or safety. Information for families Survivors (spouses, common-law partners and dependent children) will continue to receive the WVA after the qualified Veteran has passed away.

All applicants must live in Canada at the time of application. If you are an Allied Veteran you must also have: lived in Canada prior to your enlistment with an Allied Force; or lived in Canada for a total of 10 years (does not have to be consecutive) since your military service.
