Message for our HK Widows
Through the efforts of Derrill Henderson we have been informed that the War Amps will advocate for our widows now as they do for the HK veterans. They will continue to assist our veterans with their benefits as they are required. The War Amps will be sending you a permission form for them to be able to work with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) on your behalf and an information package explaining all that they will do for you. Once they have received this letter, a package with the necessary forms to set up your file will be sent to you. Please complete these as best you can and return them to the War Amps.
