Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Bayles, in your opening comments you spoke about the rehabilitation and support division with its $6 billion annual budget and three components which are compensation, income support, and rehabilitation. I'd like to focus a little bit on the rehabilitation component.
First, with regard to the value of it, as a percentage of the $6 billion, how much is attributable to rehabilitation?
I'm going to keep going with my questions and you can jot these down. I'll try to get them all into one shot.
You mentioned a number of programs. They were, I believe, the medical component, the social component, and the rehabilitation program.
I just want you to expand a little bit on the three components of the rehabilitation program and give me some sense statistically of how long veterans might spend in the program, and some ideas as to its success rate. What have you established that as being, and how are you actually making out?
