A SRDP eligible person can access rehabilitation assistance through DVA, whilst maintaining their SRDP eligibility. For example; where a person is granted SRDP eligibility while participating in rehabilitation program, and wishes to continue engaging in a rehabilitation program. Similarly a SRDP eligible person may request assistance via a rehabilitation program. A person is not limited to non-vocational rehabilitation only.
Where a SRDP eligible client is not participating in rehabilitation, their capacity to undertake rehabilitation should be considered at least every 5 years, as per standard procedures for ‘Category A’ incapacity payees or at any time the client requests assistance.
