I have some data ready for that, because I recognize that it's a concern that's been heard by this committee. My data shows that 42.5% of people with musculoskeletal issues have received a favourable decision for the CRB, and 45% of people with mental health issues have received a favourable decision. These numbers speak to the fact that veterans with mental health injuries are able to access these resources. To date, more than 250 individuals have been approved for the new benefit. As this committee well knows, we're talking about $1,000 a month paid directly to the veteran's caregiver. That's something that many veteran stakeholders had asked for, including some of those who have testified in front of this committee.
