For veterans who already use the rehabilitation program, medical and psychosocial rehabilitation services were extended during the migration and transition period. So no veterans who already had access to those services will be without them.
As to veterans who are newcomers to the program, I would point out that the role of the case manager has not disappeared. Case managers decide on eligibility and assess case management needs. If veterans have medical or psychosocial needs, they will have access to them, in accordance with their health care coverage. That will not change. It is only rehabilitation services that will be on hold for a few weeks while we start up the contract and conduct a rehabilitation assessment.
