The Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (Cth)(MRCA) permanent impairment calculator is designed solely for informational purposes, aimed at assisting veterans in understanding how permanent impairment compensation may be calculated pursuant to the MRCA. This tool is not intended as an official assessment for any Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) claims. The estimates provided by this calculator should not be construed as definitive or binding and may vary significantly depending on the specific details of your case. By using this calculator, you acknowledge and agree that the estimates provided are not a substitute for professional advice and that we are not liable for any discrepancies between the estimated amount and actual outcomes of your claim.
1. Medical Evidence & Assessment Process: The DVA’s official determinations of permanent impairment compensation relies on comprehensive medical evidence and diagnostic evaluations specific to each veteran’s condition, none of which are included in this calculation. DVA assessments are based on each veteran’s medical history, specialist reports, and ongoing clinical evaluations.
2. Legislative & Guideline References: DVA determinations under the MRCA are informed by specific legislative frameworks, including requirements set forth in the MRCA and relevant policy directives.
3. Interpretation of Evidence & Non-Binding Calculation: KSC is not involved in the decision-making process for DVA claims. The DVA uses its discretion in interpreting medical evidence, often incorporating the advice of in-house medical officers or independent experts, which may affect the outcome of a permanent impairment assessment.
4. Consultation with Official Sources: For an official determination of compensation or clarification on how the Guide to Determining Impairment and Compensation (GARP M) and other legislative guidelines may apply to your specific claim, veterans are encouraged to contact the DVA directly or consult a representative.
