I'll go back to the premise of the piece, which is that the VAC legislation has changed over the years. Even up to 2006, the Pension Act would have had a number of changes over its lifetime since the Second World War.
The Pension Act and the disability pension itself covered economic and non-economic factors in one pension, whereas the Veterans Well-being Act that came into force in 2006, superseding the Pension Act, is a broader approach to veterans' care and benefits, based on the needs of the veteran, and facilitates the transition to civilian life.
There was a reason that there were advocates for the new well-being act. It includes additional financial benefits. The two are separate in the way they're applied. They're different acts. It includes disability benefits, rehabilitation services, health services, educational assistance, continuing care and quality of life.
