Key Elements of a PI Claim

A PI claim is a detailed process. We guide you through the three core components that determine your entitlement.

Accepted Liability

Your starting point. A PI claim can only be lodged for conditions that DVA has already accepted as being service-related.

Impairment Points

Your stabilised condition is assessed against specific medical guides to assign impairment points based on the level of functional loss.

Lifestyle Rating

A rating that assesses the effect of your condition on your mobility, recreation, and social life. This is a critical part of the calculation.

Our approach

The PI claim process is complex. We provide the expert guidance you need to move forward with confidence.
