Unfortunately, many ADF members and veterans have been exposed to traumatic experiences throughout their time in the military, and these psychological injuries are often equally as debilitating as, and in some cases more than, some physical injuries.
Due to the fact that many Australian Defence Force (ADF) members and Veterans have been exposed to extremely loud noises for extended periods of time throughout their service in the military, they have a higher likelihood of experiencing hearing related ailments, such as Tinnitus, than the majority of other Australian citizens.
To lodge a DVA claim, follow these steps:
Review the eligibility criteria for the specific benefit or service you wish to claim. You may need to provide evidence of your service, medical records, or other supporting documents.
Complete the forms accurately and provide all required information. Be sure to attach any supporting documents, such as medical records, service records, or witness statements.
Send your completed forms and supporting documents to the DVA. You can submit your claim online, by mail, or at your local DVA office.
