Yes. Some veterans currently have access to rehabilitation services and the earning loss benefit, even if their difficulties in transitioning to civilian life are not related to their military service. As of April 2019, veterans released for medical reasons unrelated to their service will no longer receive the earning loss benefit—meaning the income replacement benefit. As of April 2024, veterans released for medical reasons not related to their service will also be ineligible for VAC's rehabilitation services. That means that Veterans Affairs Canada will have to determine attribution of service for physical or mental health problems, as well as determine whether any difficulty in the veteran's transition is attributable to military service. Why establish this distinction for rehabilitation programs and the earning loss benefit?
