Introduction

• Download Brochure (PDF)

The Veterans Review and Appeal Board provides an independent appeal process if you are not satisfied with a disability decision made by Veterans Affairs Canada (the Department).  The Board also provides the final level of appeal for War Veterans Allowance claims.

You may request an independent hearing of your case if you are a/an:

• Veteran
• Canadian Forces member
• Serving or discharged member of the RCMP
• Eligible dependant/survivor

There are two levels of “redress” (or opportunities to re-examine your case) available to you. They include the Review Hearing and a subsequent Appeal Hearing if you remain dissatisfied.

The Board provides you with a full and fair hearing. This includes making sure that hearings are conducted in a timely manner by a competent, specialized and independent body of adjudicators.
