This topic relates to section 2.3 of the VVRS Instrument [2].
Grounds for cessation of a veteran's participation in the Veterans' Vocational Rehabilitation Scheme (VVRS) may include continually failing to attend appointments with Rehabilitation Service Providers.
If the Rehabilitation Service Provider is to recommend to the VVRS Coordinator to determine that a veteran is no longer participating in, or undertaking, a vocational program because:
the Rehabilitation Service Provider will prepare a recommendation to the VVRS Coordinator giving reasons for the termination or non acceptance onto the Scheme.
A veteran who obtains work through the VVRS, although no longer receiving rehabilitation services, will be regarded as being on a program as long as they are working. Consequently, procedures will need to be clear so that there is a defined decision date by decision makers that is recorded for pension protection purposes. (A case to be “closed” for the purposes of a rehabilitation program, but a veteran may continue to be covered by the pension protection provisions.)
