I have just one quick question for you, Madam.
I already see sort of a problem that may exist. When you indicate that there may be people who are contracted to Veterans Affairs to go out and do assessments on veterans or their spouses, the reality is that most things are based on a fiscal budget: what can we afford; how much money does the department have to do the work it is asked to do? You have a person go in and give an analysis or a review of veterans and their family, their situation, and what they consider they need. But sometimes the analyst's view of what the veteran needs may be completely different from what the veteran thinks he needs. So who has the final determination of what a veteran actually needs?
A veteran may say, “I need this, this, this, this, and this.” The person who does the interview or the analysis of it may say, “No, in our opinion, we think you need this, this, and this.” Who's the final arbitrator on that one? Does the benefit of the doubt go to the veteran, or does it go to the department, which ends up paying for this?
