12.3 Claims for Clinical Onset

Under subsection 7(1) of the CTPA, the MRCA applies to a claim for clinical onset if two criteria are met:

  • the condition occurred on or after 1 July 2004; and
  • the condition relates to defence service rendered by the person on or after 1 July 2004.

Both criteria must be met before the MRCA can apply to a claim for clinical onset.  The MRCA does not apply to a claim for clinical onset if the condition occurred after 1 July 2004 and the condition only relates to defence service rendered before 1 July 2004.
