I think that measure is extremely detrimental. It does not fit the needs of the individual and their family. It's said that this amount is supposed to help an individual recover, but it's insufficient for that purpose. Someone may have purchased a first home or made investments and, after 2008, lost two-thirds of their investments, so nothing would remain of that amount. I don't think this measure can enable an individual to achieve a stability of spirit they can build on, instead of creating a dependence. A bunch of money is being thrown at them in the hope that this approach will work.
Moreover, owing to the complex and ambiguous nature of the conflicts most injured veterans find themselves in, they are faced with ethical and moral, even legal, dilemmas in the field. That leads to traumatic experiences and, ultimately, to depressions and other psychological issues.
When you are dealing with such problems and when, away from everyone, you have suicidal thoughts, you are not in a position to make decisions of this nature, despite the advice you receive. I have personally experienced these types of issues. The family is affected by our state of mind and is probably not familiar with the system. In such a case, any decisions about the family's future are made based on very limited information, and they are almost harmful for the family.
