And it should be more comprehensive given the potential risk level of the occupation.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t I guess.

I see, thanks for the explanation. Sounds similar to workplace disability pensions here in BC, other than WCB pensions ending altogether at 65.

I get wanting to make the indexing consistent across government, but I’d prefer they grandfather existing pensions and make the change going forward.

I agree with you that they should not change the indexing.

That doesn’t change the fact that your claim that “they going to take away disability pensions” is a lie.

Just as an aside, is the amount you would get from a disability pension tied to the amount you were earning before being disabled?

Thank you, I appreciate your service and sacrifice for our country.

The “taking away” comment is what I took issue with. The article is clear that it’s a change to how pensions are indexed. I don’t actually think it’s a good idea to make this change, but the debate about it should be factual.

I read the article, that’s how I know your claim is misleading.

Yes, I did. That’s how I know your claim that “they are taking away disability pensions” IS misinformation.

The article is not misinformation, your claim that they are taking away disability pensions IS misinformation and is NOT AT ALL what the article says.

Stop spreading misinformation. They are not taking away disability pensions. No one will have their pension decreased.
