Hi Michael,
I haven’t seen or heard of this instance before, but I think that the customer would be eligible for a rebate. The Section of the LG Regulations (134(c)) that allows rebates for DVA Pensioners who have not been issued a Pensioner Concession Card by the DVA or Centrelink, is that they receive a pension adjusted for extreme disablement under Section 22(4)Veteran Entitlements Act. This Section of the VE Act only says that they degree of incapacity…is 100%. It doesn’t say that the degree must be permanent. In this case, there is a letter from the DVA which says that the injury is 100%, so on that basis I would grant the rebate.
Matthew.
