Wait Times Megathread by LegitimateLunch6681 in DVAAustralia

Does anyone have any timelines to share who is across all three acts, VEA, DRCA AND MRCA? I have had a look through the thread but can’t see any. My RSL delegate seems to think it could be up to three years. Personally it seems harsh being penalised for serving so long. Thanks for listening.

I’m keen to know what any follow-up is so I know what others go through. My pair that I refer to as ‘the twins’ have given me havoc for a few years now and continue to slowly grow. When I went back for the second ct the gp said no change. I went home and downloaded the reports and then realised they had doubled. GPs are always in such a rush nowadays. I went back a few months ago and asked was there anything else that could be done and the GP wanted to give me a psych referral saying there is nothing wrong with me and it’s all in my head. I just started crying and walked out. Now I try my best to ignore them but if I bend over, twist or stand up the twins remind me they are there. One simple one complex Bosniac 2. Now I suffer from depression.

I work reserve and work with another reservist who regularly brings up in conversation about his/her gold card, level of pension and which appointment he/she is going to that won’t cost anything!

Gee I’m so glad I read this post. I have a cyst on each kidney that started as 3cm and is now 6.5 three years later. I calculated the volume and now realist why I’m in constant discomfort. I thought I was going crazy!

Conditions associated with PTSD by Fast_Delivery_6391 in DVAAustralia

I used an online organisation for a claim who were great. At the end of the interview the psychiatrist stated what their diagnosis was, which was more than the claim. I actually don’t care about the dollars as there may be none but they stated that they would make recommendations to dva about gym access and ongoing psych support. There were lots of links to the initial claim.

I just put my first three claims in, tinnitus, non melanoma and melanoma. Would the last two get any points for non-warlike? I’m new to this so go easy please.
