Can I appeal a VAC disability benefit decision?
Yes. If you do not agree with a decision concerning your application for VAC disability benefits, you may appeal. Within Veterans Affairs Canada, the key organization available to help you through this process is the Bureau of Pensions Advocates (BPA).
BPA’s main function is to provide free advice, assistance and representation when exploring your options for appeal. These options could include:
- a Departmental Review;
- a Veterans Review and Appeal Board (VRAB) Review Hearing; or
- a VRAB Appeal Hearing.
To discuss the decision about your disability benefit or for information on how to request a review or appeal, you may call BPA at 1-877-228-2250 (bilingual service).
If you live outside Canada, please consult the phone numbers listed for Foreign Countries Operations.
