This is the first I've heard of that particular concern, because we have been working on a reimbursement basis. But I believe there are certain circumstances when basically a special needs fund could look after certain expenditures when the veteran is in what I would say considerable need. Off the top of my head, I would think it would have to be done on a case-by-case basis when we look at these particular needs cases. But there is no formal mechanism to get an advance or to have, for example, a credit card to which it could be charged. If there are cases of veterans experiencing difficulty in that regard, if you would be good enough to bring them to my attention, we'll have a look at them.
