Our mandate doesn't cover military members. We don't monitor them. We're concerned with veterans. These figures show those who file a claim for compensation for a disability that is recognized as related to their service. That concerns only those who come to see us and whose disability has been recognized. Some of those 10,000 individuals will subsequently receive the services of a psychologist or psychiatrist, or will receive medication. There are others who will simply receive the services of their family doctor, because their condition is less serious.
