We have a unique communication of skills in our team to which specialises in providing expert advice for veterans, understanding their unique challenges, and championing their rights.
Our team includes veteran doctors who possess unparalleled insight into the medical intricacies that often accompany military service. With their expertise, we accurately diagnose conditions, analyse client’s impairment and assess medical records and service history to build robust cases for our clients.
Retrospective Medical Discharge
The Veteran Legal RMD (Retrospective Medical Discharge) team supports Australian veterans who should have been medically discharged but were not. They assist these veterans in applying for a retrospective reassessment of their mode of discharge, ensuring they receive the recognition and entitlements they deserve.
A Retrospective Medical Discharge can open the door to income support through an Invalidity Pension, which acknowledges the impact of service-related medical conditions on a veteran's ability to work in a civilian setting. This support provides financial stability and recognises the challenges faced by veterans whose service-related injuries or illnesses have hindered their post-service employment opportunities.
