Letters

To: Your DVA delegate or team mailbox, copied to yourself

Ask DVA to action a flagged or hardship claim, with dates and evidence, in a form that later supports CDDA.

To: The same contact as the last letter

A second (or third) chase that records the silence without sounding like a barrage.

To: Information.Access@dva.gov.au or the DVA FOI webform

A scoped request for the file, notes, call recordings, and the documents behind a SPOC or delay.

To: Information.Access@dva.gov.au

Ask another DVA officer to remake an FOI decision that refused, delayed, or over-redacted your file.

To: Commonwealth Ombudsman (online complaint form)

A scoped investigation request about delay, expedition, or communication — not a second merits appeal.

To: DVA (CDDA / legal / the address on DVA’s CDDA information)

A skeleton that maps facts to RMG 409 and forces a quantum table. Replace every placeholder with documents.

To: The delegate named on the decision

Get the table, the offset calculation, or the clinical basis for a discounted specialist report.

To: Your treating specialist

A letter you send to your doctor so the report answers DVA’s actual question and the impairment tables.

To: hhs@dva.gov.au (and keep a copy)

A cover note for D9319 or D1351 that ties each domestic or personal-care task to an accepted condition and who lives in the house.

To: reviews@vrb.gov.au or the VRB Justice Portal (vrb.gov.au/how-apply)

Protect the time limit this week. You can supplement the medical case later. The letter is the clock — count it on Deadlines first.

To: Information.Access@dva.gov.au — same FOI reference as the notice

A short reply that keeps the request alive. Silence in the 14-day consultation period is treated as withdrawal of the whole request.

To: The DVA officer named on the SRDP offer, copied to yourself

Eligibility is not the same as taking the payment. Ask for the comparison in writing before the 12-month election runs. The choice to take SRDP cannot be undone.
