10.12.2 Who is not eligible for MVCS?

A person is not entitled to compensation under the MVCS for mobility issues which do not arise from accepted service-related injuries or diseases. 

A person is not entitled to compensation under the MVCS if the person receives or has received:  

a payment or other form of assistance for the purchase of a motor vehicle; or  

a motor vehicle; or  

under any other law, contract, agreement or understanding within 8 years before making an application for compensation under the MVCS.  

Note: This includes motor vehicles or motor vehicle modifications received under the Vehicle Assistance Scheme (VAS) of the VEA or section 39 of the DRCA.  

A person who receives or has received compensation under the VAS is entitled to apply for compensation under the MVCS. If such a person is eligible to receive compensation under the MVCS, they then relinquish their VAS entitlement.
