The big day may have come and gone, but keep in touch as we’re always up to something new and exciting.
If you are a Veteran or current/former ADF member, and have an injury or illness causally related to your ADF service, or you were discharged on medical grounds, you may be entitled to benefits you didn’t even know about.
There are five Acts that provide compensation coverage for current and former members of the ADF. They are:
• Defence Act 1903 (DA)
• Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1986 (VEA)
• Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act (Defence Related Claims) 1988 (DRCA)
• Military Compensation Act 1994 (MCA)
• Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (MRCA)
Combined Services RSL sub-Branch offers the services of an ATDP accredited Level 4 Compensation Advocate to provide assistance to veterans in their dealings with DVA. A Level 4 Advocate provides assistance with initial liability claims and appeals regarding decisions under the VEA, DRCA, and MRCA to the Veterans’ Review Board and the Administrative Appeal Tribunal/Administrative Review Tribunal.
Combined Services RSL sub-Branch also offers the services of a Wellbeing Support Officer.
The Compensation Advocate is available for appointments weekly on Tuesdays between the hours of 11:00am and 2:00pm. The Compensation Advocate also holds appointments on the 3rd Saturday of the month at the ANZAC Memorial Hyde Park between the hours of 10:00am and 2:00pm. Please call Bill Forsbey on 0411 266 932 or email to pensions@outlook.com.au to arrange an appointment time and date.
