It may be helpful to look at the scenario outlined on the chart. If we look at the seriously disabled scenario, there is a lump sum that's payable--as you pointed out, $220,000. In addition, there are a number of financial benefits: the earnings loss, as you mentioned; a permanent impairment allowance, which is to compensate for loss of career progression during one's lifetime; and a supplementary retirement benefit, which represents two percent of the gross earnings loss, payable at age 65. There is the opportunity for purchasing the public service health care plan, if that's not otherwise accessible. If the veteran is ill enough that he can't participate in rehabilitation, particularly vocational rehabilitation, we can provide that vocational assistance to the spouse. The suite of programs is about enabling people to achieve independence; it's about helping families, and in this case the spouse would be able to access that kind of assistance.
