I have a bit of a question here. You just said that if they were entitled to a continuing pension, it continues. If the veteran was on the veterans independence program, it continues for the spouse.
A problem that I've had for many years, and I've said this repeatedly, is that the veterans of World War II and the Korean War are a different breed. They are extremely independent, very self-sufficient. In many cases, they have refused to have that kind of support. They don't want someone to shovel their driveway. They don't want their windows cleaned. They don't want their lawn mowed. Then one day they're shovelling their driveway and they have a heart attack and die, and now the widow is unable to have the continuing service. That's one thing I would like to see addressed. That is the whole issue here. If they were not on the VIP program prior to dying, the widow is not entitled. I just wanted to make sure that was clear.
You've answered this before, because I've been at committees in areas where you've said this. Who is entitled to the VIP program? They have to be a serving veteran who was in a battle. Is that correct?
