Modernising DVA’s ICT remains a top priority

Recent advancements within MyService have significantly improved the experience for veterans and their families, streamlining the process of lodging claims and accessing vital support services, says the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Individuals filing Initial Liability, Disability Compensation Payment, Application for Increase to Disability Compensation Payments and Permanent Impairment claims (DRCA/MRCA) now benefit from:

  • Real-time prompts to provide necessary claim-supporting information during submission.
  • Notifications via myGov inbox regarding any additional information required, accompanied by specific tasks to facilitate the provision of such information.
  • Enhanced options for document uploads and the ability to review document and claim details.

These enhancements empower users to access and manage up-to-date information seamlessly through MyService, reducing reliance on traditional communication methods like email or post.
