deadbeat
The methods of calculating retirement pensions of veterans of the French army are generally complex and technical. This complexity is not unusual since most states, as modern as the United States and Canada, use the same type of criteria: number of days in combat, years of service, disability rate, rather than residing in the initial award of fees, etc..
discrimination between combatants and former combatants metropolitan ex-colonies is not unique to France. It has been practiced and is still practiced in some countries by the British Commonwealth. Germany has also found a loophole by suspending its payments to the fighters of the former colonies for over 15 years and making substantial savings when payments were resumed. Much of his veterans had died in the meantime.
A chronic lack of information
According report of the Court of Auditors (February 2010), a first method delayed payments for veterans' pensions are to increase administrative services. The National Veterans (ONAC) deal with requests for maps and plans; a service of the Department of Defense handles disability claims, records yet another career military, and the payment order goes also by several strata. The Court concludes on this device: " it seems unlikely that a veteran, a fortiori abroad, manages to locate the administrative circuit to identify the speaker who is capable of detailing the effects of recent reforms or explain the method of calculating his pension. "
It is obvious that the French Ministry of Finance is faced with a bill of 152 million euros for a full crystallization - not including pensions for widows married after the time of crystallization or minor children born after that here has little incentive to accelerate disbursements. No way to organize information campaigns on the rights to pensions *. Veterans and their families must show tenacity and fighting spirit. This only confirm
somehow, one of the clauses of the Finance Act 2007.
" express request "
The clause states that if the value of the index is indeed aligned automatically with that of the index the pensions of veterans of the metropolis The number of index points (acquired by the individual by his work and experience) is so only at the express request of copyright holders (the veterans) or successors (the widows and children). Load them constitute the records of villages with deep strength photocopies, send them on their own.
The same clause is included in the draft Finance Act 2011 for the crystallization of pensions, announced last July 13 by President Nicolas Sarkozy. " This clause was not binding in law ," says General Peter Lang, president of the National Federation of former overseas troops and veterans of the Navy (FNAOM / ACTDM) " the legislature is justified in claiming that it is a way of identifying veterans still alive. You still not going to make me believe that pensions are paid now crystallized to anyone! "
The "specific request" as a deterrent. The Court of Auditors notes that " a number of potential beneficiaries 9594 and 8489 successors who could be asked to request a review of their index in general terms, only 510 applications for dependents and 417 requests were filed successors and culminated in 2007 and 2008 . The absence Reaction of beneficiaries due to her, the lack of information to beneficiaries. "No budget communication has been provided .
Members of French associations of veterans all calling process automation and seized their deputies and senators who have already made a first reading of finance law.
Meanwhile, the National Council for veterans' rights overseas, specific structure of FNAOM / ACTDM , continues to stay the deficiencies of the system using the French authorities to veterans of foreign . About 25 000 are awarded each year to buy medicines or food. These envelopes currently pass through the defense attaches of the embassies of France and subject to their willingness decrystallization .** The total pensions should lead the gradual reduction of aid.
costs of revaluations pensions for veterans of the French army have always been overvalued.
In 2002, revaluation in respect of arrears (1999-2003) was estimated at 123 million euros. It was 88.4 million euros. The partial crystallization of 2007 estimated at 110 million euros, was 87 million. The budget for the next crystallization in 2011 is estimated at 152 million euros.
____________ * The veterans of the British army in Tanzania have had to wait until 2009 that the authorities would decide what their ministries-Defense or Health and Social Affairs to be resettled in their rights . The amount of pension paid by Great Britain, is about 65 euros per month.
** Many "good will" in assisting veterans. For example, medical consultations are free for veterans, but they are not within the functions of an embassy doctor. Therefore, veterans must travel to his medical practice, located in the capital. Too bad for those residing in rural areas. Medical treatment and medicines are not free, hence the financial support currently provided by the National Council for the rights of veterans overseas.

The value of the index and the amount of the index are different from the retirement of veteran. This board is reversible widows not remarried and children under 21 years. Retirement benefits are reserved for civil servants and professional soldiers who have served more than 15 years in France. They may be combined with the other two and are reversible. |
