Also, the other day I spoke to a lady at CFB Halifax. They've been advised that as of March 1, when an individual leaves DND and goes over to VAC, in order for them to get a medical assessment—They used to go to their CF doctors to get that assessment done, but that's no longer possible. The person now has to go to a private doctor to get their assessment in order to make benefit claims through VAC. I'm wondering if you were aware of that. Why would DND and VAC together ask that of an individual who has been treated by CF doctors for all this time and has all their medical information there about either physical or mental concerns?
We heard the other day about the baton, one DND and one VAC. When a person moves over to VAC, if he or she is applying for a benefit, VAC will tell them they have to have a medical assessment done. They go back to the CF doctor and they are now told that they can no longer do that and that they have to go to a private doctor. I wonder why that is.
