That is correct, but the process begins before the soldier is withdrawn from service.
We operate on a case-by-case basis. We have a case management system for people who suffer from chronic physical or mental health problems. As soon as it becomes apparent that the person cannot remain in the Canadian Forces, our case management officers begin discussions with the Department of Veterans Affairs to organize follow-up and ensure that the veteran understands all the benefits to which he is entitled. The process begins at least six months before the member leaves the Canadian Forces, and sometimes as early as a year or a year and a half prior to discharge.
