It is good to know that DVA still goes out of its way to ensure that injured veterans get the least of their entitlements as possible.
Anyone who has had to deal with DVA generally comes out the other end, less than impressed with them.
WAR veterans are being spied on by government investigators trawling their social media sites and following them in a bid to prove their medical claims are false, doctors and vets claim.
Veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder have been driven to despair _ and even thoughts of suicide _ by “aggressing and bullying” tactics that force them to prove they are unwell, a national inquiry has heard.
Some vets with claims for injuries suffered while serving their country say they have even been staked out by shadowy figures with cameras in their street taking their photo whenever they leave the house.
Doctors have given evidence to the Senate inquiry into suicides by war vets and ex service personnel that investigators are intruding on private lives and using “biased and unsubstantiated” information to dismiss claims.
In a submission to the inquiry, general practitioner and former regimental medical officer Dr Steven Scally has accused the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) and the Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation of foul play against war vets.
