Thank you, Chair. I want to go back to Madame Malette.
I was compelled by some information that you provided, particularly in the area of your husband's case where he's able to do some things.
We've heard stories from veterans who are over the 100% limit in terms of their disability. In one case in particular that I'm aware of, this veteran has been denied the caregiver benefit five times, despite being over 100% disabled.
One of the challenges—and you mentioned it earlier—is that the veterans who are oftentimes dealing with traumatic brain injuries, occupational stress illnesses, whatever the case that gets them up to that level of disability, are so bogged down in the paperwork that it's difficult for them to receive the benefit for their caregiver.
One of the suggestions that could come out of this—and I'm interested in your opinion—is whether the caregiver himself or herself should be the one applying for these benefits, as opposed to the veteran applying directly to Veterans Affairs. I'm interested in your opinion on whether that would help or not.
