It impacts directly in two ways. One, it adds undue confusion for a veteran who is already struggling with mental health issues. They are out there and shouldn't have to do their own shopping, shall we say, to try to figure out which program is going to meet their needs.
There needs to be some kind of objective standard so that, when a veteran is in need and their clinician has identified that a service dog would be helpful for them, they can go to a trusted source. That source would be connected to standards. There is no other way to line it up on a national basis.
