Show Notes
Veteran Stuart Micklethwaite received a shocking letter demanding repayment of over $69,000 in overpaid benefits. He had reported his pensions, but Veterans Affairs Canada didnt adjust his payments. Hes one of over 1,000 vets facing similar clawbacks since October 2025. The benefits aim to replace 90% of military salary, dropping to 70% at 65. Vets must report extra income, but reviews only kick in at 65. Officials flagged 1,123 cases worth millions by March. Vets like Micklethwaite panicked, fearing home loss, causing anxiety and health issues. Advocates call for clear communication and built-in advocates to shield vets from bureaucratic scares.
