In terms of the key areas of the new Veterans Charter, focusing on low-income veterans, we've established a pre-tax income of $40,000 a year so that no one will fall below that threshold when he or she is in rehabilitation.
We've improved access to monthly allowances. These allowances are worth up to $1,631 a month and are payable for life.
We've added a $1,000 monthly supplement to the permanent impairment allowance to help the most severely injured or ill veterans who are unable to be suitably and gainfully employed. This supplement is also payable for life.
We've created, again, more flexibility, as you mentioned earlier, under the disability award so that veterans themselves can choose how they want to receive it—either one-time or on an annual basis, or a combination thereof.
