Claims for liability are made under section 319 of the MRCA. Liability may be accepted for:
- service injury
- service disease
- service death
- loss or damage to a member's medical aid.
Although claims for compensation are also made under this part of the MRCA, the question of compensation is a separate issue. The acceptance of liability is a prerequisite for compensation to be paid. However, the payment of compensation is not automatic even where liability has been accepted. Further information about these documentary requirements are detailed in ‘Chapter 2: Claims’ of the MRCA Manual.
