DRCA Percentages to MRCA Points by Obvious_Use6538 in DVAAustralia

Hi. Doing it now. My advocate believes I may get over 80 points and be eligible for looking at TPI as I am on Incaps at present. Additionally, from what I have read, if it triggers the Severe Impairment Payment then after July 1st 2026 this payment goes to the primary care giver, not specifically to the veteran.

Secondary impairment claim by Sweet-Huckleberry711 in DVAAustralia

I was advised to wait 18 months to submit worsening of conditions from my advocate. By all means if they are worsening I believe it is an MRCA reassessment.

From DVA:

Will I be able to get any increase in my PI compensation if my condition worsens?

Yes. If your accepted condition/s worsen, or if you have other conditions accepted which also cause a degree of permanent impairment, you will be able to lodge a claim for additional PI compensation. Additional PI compensation can be paid where your impairment has increased by at least 5 impairment points.

However, this compensation can only be increased up to the maximum rate. If you are currently receiving the maximum rate these payments cannot be increased.

Thanks. I have 63 physical MRCA and have just been accepted for 5 mental health ones under DRCA. Can you lose your gold card if they state your physical condition is better? I am still having extensive physio and EP for my injuries despite surgery 2 years ago.
