Understand Benefits and Options

Not sure which benefits may apply, or what a decision means? VANCA can help explain the process in plain language.

VANCA helps veterans and families understand possible benefits and support options across Veterans Affairs Canada, CRA, CPP, SISIP, provincial disability programs, and related organizations. We help explain what may apply, what information may be needed, and where to start.

Benefit and support areas we can help explain

  • VAC Disability Benefits
  • Pain and Suffering Compensation
  • Additional Pain and Suffering Compensation
  • VAC Income Replacement Benefit
  • VAC Treatment Benefits
  • VAC Rehabilitation Services
  • Education and Training Benefit
  • Veterans Independence Program
  • Caregiver Recognition Benefit
  • SISIP Long Term Disability
  • CPP Disability
  • CRA Disability Tax Credit
  • Disability-related and caregiver tax credits
  • Income tax considerations connected to benefits
  • Provincial disability supports
  • Family and caregiver supports
  • Education, employment, and transition programs
  • Referral pathways to other organizations

Not every benefit is handled by the same organization. VANCA helps you understand which department, program, insurer, or agency may be involved, and what questions to ask next.
