One of the biggest concerns when submitting a claim is how long it takes. Delays can lead to financial strain, affect access to treatment, and add stress for veterans and their families. While DVA has worked to shorten wait times, there are still a number of things that can hold up a claim.
Tinnitus is one of the most commonly reported conditions among Australian Defence Force (ADF) veterans. Given its high prevalence among ADF members, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) provides compensation for those whose tinnitus is linked to their military service.
For veterans, current service members and their families, accessing entitlements and support can sometimes be a complex process. When decisions made by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) don’t reflect their needs or circumstances, the Veterans’ Review Board (VRB) offers a way to appeal.
Many veterans experience lasting impacts from their service, including PTSD, depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders. Access to consistent psychological support plays an important part in managing these challenges.
The ANZAC spirit, built on courage, endurance, and mateship, continues to shape our national identity. For veterans and their families, ANZAC Day is more than a ceremony.
If you have been assessed at 80 impairment points or more, you may be entitled to a tax-free lump sum of over $108,000 per eligible dependent.
