The cornerstone program of the New Veterans Charter is the rehabilitation program. This program was not available under the previous legislation, prior to 2006. What the rehabilitation program offers veterans with a service-related disability or rehabilitation need is a combination of three streams of service: medical services for physical and mental health conditions; psychosocial supports to allow the veteran and his family to adapt to a disability or service-related issue; and the vocational rehabilitation stream, which supports the veteran in gaining the skills and education and expertise to transition into civilian employment.
That's the cornerstone of the new Veterans Charter programming. Associated with the rehabilitation program is a suite of financial benefits. Those provide economic support to the veteran who is participating in the rehabilitation program.
There's an economic support that pays monthly. The minimum payment would be $42,000 per year. It pays at the rate of 75% of the veteran's pre-release salary.
