Obviously, when you ask an adjudicator if anything should be pre-approved, of course they think that's not...but it's not a question of everything. This system is not built on every injury being compensable. An injury occurring on vacation isn't necessarily related to service.
I do think we are emerging. VAC has invested a significant amount of resources in fast-tracking complaints. The one that I think is most relevant is hearing loss. VAC is approving probably somewhere in the vicinity of 80%. Our experience recently is that we're probably taking it to where in excess of 90% of the claims that come forward for hearing loss are being approved, particularly if somebody demonstrates a diagnosis that at least in part is attributable to noise. Nobody's post-service work compares to that noise.
In those cases, that's a public policy decision. You could say that if a veteran comes forward today and demonstrates a noise-induced hearing loss, you could grant that. For the small percentage that might get caught in the loop, it's a public policy question. There is probably merit in certain types of claims and approving those. If you took hearing loss out of the system, it would open up capacity for others, but hearing loss is the one that our experience would say we're getting to a point, if we're approving 95%-plus, where we could probably do a cost-benefit analysis that says pre-approval might be the way to go on hearing loss.
