Hi All
Have been asked from a rate payer to apply a pension rebate to their property. However they do not possess a pension concession card but is covered by the DFRDB – Defence Force Retirement and Death Benefit.
I have never heard of the DFRDB. However understand it is linked to the DVA process.
Is anyone able to shed some further light on this for me?

Hi Cindy,
I’m pretty sure that DFRDB is the old Military Superannuation scheme. I received a query many many years ago from someone on it & I advised them that I expected that it would work the same way as any other superannuation fund & advised them to contact DVA to find out if they were entitled to a PCC & that I couldn’t grant a rebate unless they had a PCC the same as any other self funded retiree receiving a super income. They were going to make enquires with DVA & come back to me with a reason why we had to grant it for them but I never heard back from them.
