Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986

A pensioner who is dissatisfied with a decision of the Commission in relation to an advance payment of an amount of pension may request the Commission to review the decision.

The request must:

be made within 3 months after the person seeking the review was notified of the decision; and

be in writing; and

set out the grounds on which the request is made; and

be lodged at an office of the Department in Australia in accordance with section 5T.

A request lodged in accordance with section 5T is taken to have been made on a day determined under that section.

If a request for review is made in accordance with subsection (2), the Commission must review the decision.

If the Commission has delegated its power under this section to the person who made the decision under review, that person must not review the decision.
