Initial Liability
The first step: getting your condition accepted.
Initial Liability is DVA's decision that a medical condition is connected to your service. It's the foundation on which permanent impairment, incapacity payments and treatment entitlements are built.
Clinical history review
We help build the medical picture linking your condition to service events or environments.
Evidence gathering
Pathology, imaging and specialist reports organised before paperwork is submitted.
Clear documentation
Reports written to match the DVA Statement of Principles for each condition.
What you'll need
- • A summary of your service history (dates, postings, deployments)
- • Any existing medical records relating to the condition
- • Details of any previous DVA claims or decisions
