        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7764447\" data-originallang=\"en\">That brings to mind another question. If you feel someone is better qualified to answer this one, it's fine if you pass it off.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7764448\" data-originallang=\"en\">Earlier Captain Beck was indicating that the CAF doesn't make a determination about whether it's service-related or not service-related, but in this instance we're talking about potentially different long-term disability payments depending on whether or not it's service-related. That tells me there must be something done at CAF to indicate whether or not the injury is service-related.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7764449\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can someone square that circle for me? I don't really understand. It sounds to me as though that is being done.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7764450\" data-originallang=\"en\">It also sounds to me as though there is some coordination that then happens with VAC, so why, at that time, can there not be a determination as to whether the injury is service-related and then that can be applied to everything, whether it be long-term disability or the hand-off to VAC, so that things can be better coordinated?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7764451\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why can't that be happening? It sounds to me as though somewhere along the way, before they're released, a determination is made one way or the other as to whether it is service-related. What's the problem here?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7764447\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela m'am\u00e8ne \u00e0 une autre question. Si vous estimez que quelqu'un d'autre est mieux qualifi\u00e9 pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question, vous pouvez la lui passer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7764448\" data-originallang=\"en\">Plus t\u00f4t, le capitaine Beck a indiqu\u00e9 que les FAC ne d\u00e9terminent pas si la maladie ou la blessure est li\u00e9e ou non au service, mais nous parlons ici d'indemnit\u00e9s d'invalidit\u00e9 de longue dur\u00e9e qui peuvent varier selon que la blessure est li\u00e9e ou non au service. Cela me porte \u00e0 croire qu'on se prononce au sein des FAC quant \u00e0 savoir si la blessure est li\u00e9e ou non au service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7764449\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quelqu'un peut\u2011il m'\u00e9clairer? Je ne comprends pas vraiment. Il me semble que ce constat est fait.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7764450\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai aussi l'impression qu'il y a une certaine coordination avec ACC, alors pourquoi, \u00e0 ce moment\u2011l\u00e0, ne peut\u2011on pas d\u00e9terminer si la blessure est li\u00e9e au service, et ensuite appliquer cette d\u00e9cision \u00e0 tout, qu'il s\u2019agisse des indemnit\u00e9s d'invalidit\u00e9 de longue dur\u00e9e ou du transfert \u00e0 ACC, pour permettre une meilleure coordination du dossier?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7764451\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi cela ne peut\u2011il pas se produire? Il me semble qu'\u00e0 un moment donn\u00e9, avant la lib\u00e9ration, on d\u00e9cide d\u2019une fa\u00e7on ou d'une autre si la blessure est li\u00e9e au service. Quel est le probl\u00e8me?</p>"
