This goes to the issue of financial security, which the Veterans Ombudsman talked about a few weeks ago. Financial security is a relatively subjective concept. It means different things to different people. Financial security for an individual may be something entirely different from financial security for a veteran who is married, or for a veteran who has children, right? Their needs will differ depending on their individual circumstances.
When you're reviewing the testimony and writing a report, I think it will be important to differentiate the two things. On the one hand is the financial aspect of it, which would be the lump sum award, for example. That financial aspect is different from the aspect of the services available to veterans, such as the veterans independence program, or the funeral and burial benefits, or the caregiver's allowance. That's a benefit, a program, or a service that's available. Always keep the difference between the two in mind when you're reviewing the testimony.
