Get Clear Guidance on Military Pensions and Veteran Compensation Claims

Many former ADF members were not medically discharged when they should have been, or had DVA claims that were under-assessed.

In many cases, this was due to:

Limited medical evidence at the time

Lack of guidance through the process

Conditions that developed or worsened after discharge

You may still have options to have your situation reassessed.

Common Questions About CSC and DVA Claims

  • Yes. You can apply for a retrospective medical discharge years after leaving the ADF.

    CSC will assess whether your medical condition at the time of discharge meant you should have been medically transitioned. If successful, this may result in eligibility for an invalidity pension, depending on your assessed capacity for civilian employment.

  • CSC and DVA assess claims differently and serve different purposes.

    CSC focuses on your capacity to work in civilian employment at the time of discharge, which determines eligibility for an invalidity pension.

    DVA focuses on service-related conditions and compensation, regardless of your discharge classification.

    Because of this, a condition accepted by DVA does not automatically mean you will qualify for a CSC pension.

  • Yes. Old DVA claims can often be reviewed if new and relevant evidence is available or if your condition has worsened over time.

    A review may result in an increased level of compensation, which can impact your overall financial support alongside any CSC pension you may be eligible for.

  • Strong, relevant evidence is essential for both CSC pension applications and DVA claims.

    This may include:

    • Medical records from around your discharge

    • Specialist reports

    • ADF and DVA records

    • Evidence of how your condition affects your ability to work

    • Employment history and qualifications

    The clearer and more complete your evidence, the better CSC or DVA can assess your claim and determine the appropriate outcome.
