Veterans Health Care Regulations

21.2 Subject to section 33.1, an overseas service veteran is eligible to receive the cost to them of intermediate care or chronic care in a community facility to the extent that it is not available to them as an insured service under a provincial health care system if they have applied to the Minister for admission to a departmental facility or contract bed and are not admitted because there is no vacancy in a departmental facility or contract bed within a reasonable distance of the community in which they normally reside.
