If the veteran has severe disabilities and is hospitalized, if we do the transition briefing at their bedside, the family members would be present.
One of the issues we have found is that because the transition assistance program has not been mandatory for every transitioning service member, some elect not to participate in the entire process. But recent legislation will be making that process mandatory, which will enable us to make sure that every service member exiting gets the full benefit of all of the information that could help them in their transition.
