Place holder node for 2001
Due to discrepancies having been found in this advisory, please do not rely on it for determinations of claims. Confirmation of allotment of ships for VEA eligibility should be done via the Service Eligibility Assistant in the Legislation Library of CLIK which houses the relevant documents for such determinations.
Advisory from Disability Compensation Branch
No 1 of 2001
This is an advisory note only. Disability Compensation have agreed this policy view. It is not a Repatriation Commission Guideline or a Departmental Instruction. The advice is not intended to conflict with the proper application of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 or the judgements of the Courts. It may be subject to change as a result of further interpretation by the Courts of the legislation. Nevertheless it represents a considered view that should be taken into account by all delegates.
The 2000/2001 Budget announced the extension of entitlements to Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel who served in South East Asia from 1955 to 1975. Defence issued instruments that came into effect on 1 January 2001 that included new units and extended eligibility for other units.
Instruments can be found on CLIK in the Legislation Library under 'ministerial instruments' in 'other legis'. Lists of units are also in the History Library of CLIK and in ELMNET [3]. CLIK and ELMNET are kept up to date and should always be used when seeking the latest authoritative lists.
A consolidated list of ships that have coverage under the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 (VEA) has been prepared for the period 1950 to 1972. All ships listed in Instruments issued for s.6D and Items 1 to 8 of Schedule 2 are included as well as HMAS Vampire and Quickmatch which are specifically listed in s.6E.
Further consolidated lists for Army and RAAF units will be prepared and issued as advisories.
Please contact Anthony Staunton on 02 6289 6640 or Ann Donnelly on 02 6289 6439 for further information.

Advisory from Disability Compensation Branch
No 2/2001
This is an advisory note only. Income Support Branch, Disability Compensation Branch and Legal Services Group have agreed this policy view. It is not a Repatriation Commission Guideline or a Departmental Instruction. The advice is not intended to conflict with the proper application of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 or the judgements of the Courts. It may be subject to change as a result of further interpretation by the Courts of the legislation. Nevertheless it represents a considered view that should be taken into account by all delegates.
This Advisory is intended to assist delegates in determining claims for qualifying service on the Malay-Thai border. It updates and replaces the advisory on the same subject issued on 19 February 2001.
An instrument for allotment under the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 (VEA) was signed by the Vice-Chief of the Defence Force on 8 February 2001 listing units that were for allotted for duty in operations on the Malay-Thai border. This area is described by Item 5 of Schedule 2 of the VEA.
The following two units are listed on the instrument although no reference has been located in the records that indicate that either unit served on the Malay-Thai Border:
A Squadron, 1st Armoured Regiment — 1 Aug 1960 — 29 Feb 1964
103rd Field Battery, Royal Australian Artillery — 1 Jul 1962 — 31 Oct 1963
The 103rd Field Battery was completely integrated into the British Army's 26th Field Regiment, Royal Artillery as its third firing battery. In July 1963, the 26th Regiment, Royal Artillery was replaced by the 45th Regiment, Royal Artillery. The 103rd Field Battery came under command of Headquarters 45th Regiment on 24 July 1963.
The principal record detailing the 103rd Field Battery's activities in Malaya is the monthly Commander's Diary held at the Australian War Memorial (series AWM95) which provides a daily summary of the Battery's activities and other important events in the unit. It would be exceptional for the Battery to have served on the Malay-Thai Border and for these operations not to be recorded in the Commander's Diary.
The Official Records indicate that during the whole period of the 103rd Field Battery's tour in Malaya from October 1961 to October 1963 that the Battery was located in Terendak Camp, Malacca where it conducted normal garrison and training exercises. Short excursions were made from Terendak Camp for field firing exercises at the Asahan Field Firing Range in eastern Malacca State. Other excursions from Terendak Camp involved the Battery supporting its affiliated infantry battalion, the 1st Battalion, Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (1 KOYLI), on various battalion and 28th Commonwealth Brigade exercises.
The closest the Battery served to the Malay-Thai Border was its attendance at a “change of air” station at Brinchang Camp in the Cameron Highlands from 29 October to 9 November 1962 and again from 31 August to 8 September 1963. During its time at Brinchang Camp the Battery undertook small arms training and engaged in various sporting and other recreational activities.
A Squadron, 1st Armoured Regiment did not serve in Malay during this period. Defence is examining whether these two units should remain on the instrument.
The following units served on the Malay-Thai border at some stage during their tour of duty in Malaya:
101st Field Battery, Royal Australian Artillery — 1 Aug 1960 — 30 Sep 1960
1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment — 1 Aug 1960 — 31 Dec 1961
2nd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment — 1 Jun 1961 — 31 Aug 1963
3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment — 1 Aug 1963 — 16 Aug 1964
3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment Signal Troop — 19 Feb 1964 05 Apr 1964
28th Commonwealth Brigade (Australian Component)1 Aug 1960 16 Aug 1964
Detachment 32nd Dental Unit — 19 Feb 1964 — 05 Apr 1964
Far East Land Force (Australian Component)1 Aug 1960 — 16 Aug 1964
For DP claims, if records do not indicate the presence on the Malay-Thai border in the period 1960 to 1963, the claim should be considered under s.6D(1)(b) which covers all of Malaya and Singapore including the Malay-Thai border area.
There is therefore no specific requirement to identify the presence in the border area for operational service. However, claims that relate to specific events will still have to be investigated in the normal way. Section 6D(1)(b) is operational service only, with no qualifying service.
It is expected that Army service records are marked with "SPEC SERV" for service on the Malay-Thai border after 28 May 1963.
For the new period of service, 1960-1963, which came into operation on 1 January 2001, Army service documents are unlikely to reveal service on the Malay-Thai border. The issue to be addressed after it is revealed that the individual served with a unit that was allotted for duty in Item 5 is whether the person actually served in the Item 5 operational area.
In considering a QS claim the Departmental file should be checked for any earlier mention on the file that the applicant was on operations on the Malay-Thai border. If there is mention on the veteran's file before the announcement of the extension of QS eligibility in February 2000 then this should be given weight.
The issue of an Australian Active Service Medal (AASM) with Thai-Malay clasp is NOT a requirement of the VEA but it is a useful proxy. Whether the person was on the Malay-Thai border can be inferred from the fact that Defence has granted the Thai-Malay clasp. Eligibility for the Thai-Malay clasp could reasonably satisfy the legislative requirement of service in the area. However, person must meet the requirement of having served in a unit listed in the allotment instrument issued by Defence.
In reasons for decision the issue of a medal is not the reason that a delegate is satisfied but rather that “Defence records show the applicant served on the Malay-Thai border in the Item 5 operational area”.
There may still be cases where the applicant's service records do not indicate service on the Malay-Thai Border but the claimant is insistent that such service occurred.
In such cases the use of an historical researcher may be of mutual assistance to the client and the Department. The applicant might be able to provide dates, the name of platoon sergeant/platoon commander and a description of their actual role in the operation.
Applicants should be advised that they have a right to apply to either the Army Medals Office (telephone 1800 065 149) or the Air Force Medals Office (telephone 1800 623 306) for the Thai-Malay clasp.

Advisory from Disability Compensation Branch
No 3 of 2001
Please note: For further information in relation to Malignant Neoplasm of the Prostate and Consumption of Animal Fat refer to Advisory Note 1 of 2007 [7].
This is an advisory note only. Disability Compensation Branch and Legal Services Group have agreed this policy view. It is not a Repatriation Commission Guideline or a Departmental Instruction. The advice is not intended to conflict with the proper application of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 or the judgements of the Courts. It may be subject to change as a result of further interpretation by the Courts of the legislation. Nevertheless it represents a considered view that should be taken into account by all delegates.
This paper is intended to assist decision-makers in applying the animal fat consumption factors in the Statements of Principles for malignant neoplasm of the prostate. It contains a “Dietary Survey Form” for use whenever it is appropriate.
Decision-makers should also refer to Advisory No 3 of 1999 for other information.
2.The paper deals predominantly with WW2 veterans, as they are the main group to whom the SoPs apply.
3.In relation to WW2 veterans, the requirement to have animal fat consumption of at least 70gms/day is easily satisfied, as both civilian and military diets at that time typically had animal fat content well in excess of that level. The requirement to maintain an intake of at least 70gms/day for 20 or 25 years is also easily satisfied, as typical Australian diets contained animal fat in excess of that level until at least the 1970s.
4.This means that a general claim that a military diet was “fattier” than the previous civilian diet is untenable without a dietary history of both periods. Individual claims must be treated on their merits.
5.The SoP factor requirement for an increase in consumption by at least 40% is the real test to be satisfied. This is because an average civilian diet before and during WW2 contained more animal-fat than most service rations. In addition the SoP factors require that increased level of consumption to be maintained for 20 or 25 years and for that increased consumption to be attributable to service.
6.The President of the AAT, in the six test cases heard to date, has accepted that in some limited circumstances a veteran may have had a diet higher in fat than the civilian diet or the military diets of any other theatres of war. A veteran of World War II who had service in the SouthWest Pacific theatre from 4 February 1944 to the end of the war in 1945 is such a circumstance.
7.However, this diet is not of the required 40% increase required by the SoP. Nevertheless, it appears that in certain circumstances this connection could be accepted as causing post war dietary fat increases to the required level and maintenance of that increased consumption of higher amounts of dietary fat for the requisite 20-year period.
8.A second conclusion is that this connection does not apply to “eligible service” cases (see Grace). On the balance of probabilities the military diet does not carry over to the post war civilian diet.
9.On the basis of these decisions it seems possible that operational service cases with service in the SouthWest Pacific theatre in World War 2 (post 1944) could be accepted if they were to satisfy the Statements of Principles requirements of a 40% increase. At the same time the case of Collingwood shows that the requirement for the connection and the increase is a matter that must be the subject of a finding of fact by the decision-maker, else it can not succeed.
10.Without a connection of 40% higher fat diet for a period of 20 years to an increase on service the acceptance of prostate cancer as service related is tenuous. The connection would depend on the facts emerging from the diet questionnaires. The AAT itself remarked that it had no evidence before it that might indicate the minimum increase or duration of an increase on service before it could be implicated in a later 40% increase. To date there has been no such evidence available.
11.In addition, cases involving operational service in all theatres of operations might give rise to an hypothesis (see the Deledio Guidelines) where there was a pre-war diet very low in animal fat or service rations were supplemented by foods high in animal fat. All other aspects of the factor, eg the need for a 40% increase in fat consumption that lasts for at least 20 years, must still be satisfied.
12.There are four questions that need to be answered. It requires a “yes” answer to all of them for the SoP factors to be satisfied.
13.Self-reports of a change in dietary habit (or otherwise) are of little probative value. Statements concerning the circumstances of service or past experiences by a veteran, or widow, are relevant, but uncorroborated self-reports on any issue are generally unreliable. However, an attempt to get as much information as possible should be made.
14.This material, including claimed alteration in a person's dietary habit, is capable of critical assessment by an appropriate specialist as long as sufficient information is made available.
15.An accredited practising dietitian is an appropriate expert to consult in relation to dietary allegations. Such an opinion can mean that an essential fact for the hypothesis can be considered under the Deledio Guidelines at Stage 4.
16.Suitable dietitians in each State exist and Tribunal advocates can advise Claims Assessors of appropriate specialists.
17.The attached Diet Survey Form is for use in situations where information is required in order to enable a dietitian to report on the level of fat consumption.

WE WILL BE ASKING YOU ABOUT THE TYPES OF FOODS EATEN BY THE VETERAN, HOW MUCH AND HOW OFTEN. First you will be asked to record the usual daily eating pattern of your husband. What foods he usually ate at meals and between meals. An example of a completed daily eating pattern is given below:
EXAMPLE OF DAILY EATING PATTERN
MEAL — FOOD and QUANTITY (if possible)
Breakfast
Porridge - 1 cup with milk (1/4 cup) and sugar (2 tsp)
Boiled eggs - 2 number
Toast - 2 slices, with butter (4 tsp) and jam (1 tabs)
Coffee- 1 cup made with milk and sugar (2tsp).
Mid Morning
Sweet biscuits - 4 number
Tea - 1 cup with milk (2 tabs) and sugar (2tsp)
Lunch
Home-made soup - 1 cup
Bread roll - 1 number with butter (3 tsp)
2 sandwiches - 4 slices bread with butter (4 tsp) and meat (2 slices), salad and mustard (1 tsp)
Cake - 1 slice
Tea - - 1 cup with milk (2 tabs) and sugar (2tsp)
Mid Afternoon Nothing
Dinner
Meat dish - usually grill (medium ), stew (1 cup) or roast (4 slices)
Potatoes - usually chipped or mashed (1 cup)
Vegetables - 3 servings (1 cup each) with margarine (1 tsp each)
Bread - 2 slices with butter (2 tsp)

Late Evening
Cocoa - 1 cup, made with 1/2 cup milk and sugar (1 tsp)
Sweet biscuits - 4 plain
Chocolates- 4 pieces
After you have completed the daily eating pattern, you will see a list of foods with an amount written against each food. For each food would you indicate with a tick how often on average, your husband would have eaten the amount of that food, either served by you or obtained from someone else. This may vary from less than once a week to more than 3 times per day. If appropriate, please include cooking method.
For example, if your husband drank a cup ( 250ml) of milk each day on average (including milk used on cereal or in tea and coffee), place a tick in the 1 time per day column like this:

Advisory from Disability Compensation Branch
No 4/2001
This is an advisory note only. Disability Compensation Branch and Legal Services Group have agreed this policy view. It is not a Repatriation Commission Guideline or a Departmental Instruction. The advice is not intended to conflict with the proper application of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 or the judgements of the Courts. It may be subject to change as a result of further interpretation by the Courts of the legislation. Nevertheless it represents a considered view that should be taken into account by all delegates.
Army Reserves and Continuous Full-time Service
Whether non-contiguous periods of service can be aggregated to satisfy the 3 year requirement for continuous full-time service in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) before qualifying for benefits under the serving member provisions of the VEA.
2 — No. Continuous full-time service is a single, unbroken period of service.
3.To be eligible under Part IV of the VEA a member of the Forces must have a period of 3 years 'continuous full-time service' or 3 years 'effective full-time service'. Effective full-time service is defined under 68(1) as “any period of continuous full-time service...” excluding a number of circumstances.
4.'Continuous full-time service' is defined under section 5C(1) as
“...
(ii) service in the military Forces of the Commonwealth of the kind known as continuous full-time service;”
5.Although 'continuous full-time service' is not defined in the Defence Act 1903 it is clear from the relevant provisions of Part III of that Act that only members of the Australian Regular Army are bound through their appointment at all times to render “continuous full-time military service”. Regular service as a member of the ADF Reserves does not constitute full-time (FTS) service for the purposes of the Defence Act 1903.
6.Where there is a need from time-to-time Members of the ADF Reserves may also render “continuous full-time service” where they are called out for such service under s50D, s50E, s50F or s51. The service of any member of the ADF reserves will only be considered FTS where he/she is specifically employed with the Regular Army for a period designated as FTS.
7.The Macquarie dictionary defines 'continuous' as “1. Having the parts in immediate connection, unbroken. 2. Uninterrupted in time; without cessation.” It would appear that '3 years continuous full-time service' would in the case of an ADF reserve be a 3 year unbroken period of employment for FTS. Any additional employment would not constitute a continuous period.
8.This is supported by section 69(3) of the VEA that provides that continuous full-time service that has not been continuous will not satisfy the requirements for eligibility under Part IV.
9.There is very little case law in this area. One case of note is the Federal Court decision in Boots v Repatriation Commission (1993) 29 ALD 702. In this case, Boots served in the Dutch underground resistance during WWII. While technically serving part-time the Federal Court viewed the service as continuous full-time service for the purposes of the VEA. This decision was based on the threat of danger to Mr Boots, which the court considered was not a part-time risk. This case has relevance to the deeming of service as full-time, however it does not offer any assistance in respect of the requisite continuous nature of that service.
10.It should be noted that it would be very difficult for an ADF Reserves member to satisfy Part IV of the VEA. Under Defence Instructions (Army) pursuant to section 9A of the Defence Act 1903 employment of Members of the Army Reserve on full-time service should not be for a period exceeding two years. In such circumstances a transfer to the Australian Regular Army will be the preferred option.
11.Part time service is not full time service and no periods of part time service can be added together to count as full time service.
CONCLUSIONS
12.Continuous full-time service is a single continuous period of service where the person is specifically employed for a period of full-time service. Any subsequent full-time service is a separate period of service for the purposes of both the Defence Act 1903 and the VEA. Separate periods of service added together cannot constitute a “continuous” period.

Advisory from Disability Compensation Branch
No 5 of 2001
This is an advisory note only. It is not a Repatriation Commission Guideline or a Departmental Instruction. The advice is not intended to conflict with any information that may be made by the respective Governments concerned. All veterans must be encouraged to satisfy themselves on any details of these matters. Nevertheless it represents a considered view that should be taken into account by all departmental staff when providing information.
Ex Gratia Payments
by the United Kingdom,
Canada and New Zealand
Surviving ex PoWs of the Japanese
and
Surviving spouses
Following on the announcement by Canada both the United Kingdom the New Zealand governments have announced similar payments. Canada is paying surviving ex PoW(J)s an amount of up to C$ 28 000, based on the days spent in captivity. The UK is making an ex gratia payment of UK 10 000 pounds to British survivors, and surviving spouses, who were held prisoner by the Japanese during the Second World War, as PoWs or civilians. New Zealand is paying an amount of NZ$30 000 to surviving ex PoW(J)s, civilian internees and surviving spouses of both groups.
2 — On 7 November 2000, the Under Secretary of State at the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, Dr Lewis Moonie, announced that in recognition of the
'unique circumstances of their captivity, the British Government has decided to make a single ex-gratia payment of 10 000 pounds to the surviving members of the British Groups were held prisoner by the Japanese during the Second World War.'
3 — In a statement to the House of Commons, Dr Moonie also indicated that where a person who would have been entitled to this payment has died, their surviving spouse will be entitled to receive the payment instead.
4 — It is understood that the British Government has decided that it had a moral responsibility to make these payments. The estimated cost of this initiative is 100 million pounds, indicating payments to 10 000 veterans, civilians and their surviving spouses, but not to other relatives.
5 — Of the 50 016 British military personnel taken captive by the Japanese, 12 433 died or were killed in captivity.
6 — There are five categories of people who are entitled to make a claim for this ex gratia payment. These are:
7 — The ex-gratia payments will be administered by the War Pensions
Agency (WPA), which is part of the Department of Social Security based at Blackpool. The WPA has introduced arrangements in order to deal with these payments and has published a leaflet about the new scheme, which includes details on how to lodge a claim. Please advise any British veterans who are seeking advice on the UK gratuity for British veterans to contact the WPA in Britain.
8.There are some British veterans who have contacted Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) State Offices for advice on this UK gratuity for British Veterans. DVA is not providing any service to the British PoWs in Australia so they can access this gratuity from the British government. Those British PoWs who require further information and assistance should be referred to the British War Pensions Agency (WPA). Further relevant information on this ex gratia payment and a claim form can be accessed at WPA website on www.dss.gov.uk/wpa/index/htm [10]. Alternatively the WPA can be contacted by telephone, for those calling from overseas on + 44 1253 866043, for those calling from within the UK the Freeline number is 0800 169 22 77.
9.Canada made their announcement in late 2000. In Canada's case the bulk of their PoW(J)s were captured in Hong Kong in 1942/43 and were then used in Japanese factories. Few other Canadian elements were involved in the Pacific theatre. Accordingly the Canadian government decide to pay on the basis of the days spent in captivity and multiply that by the rate of pay they would have received if Japan had paid them ordinary worker's wages. That set the maximum amount at C$ 28 000. Veterans and spouses who were surviving at the time of the announcement would get that or a pro rata amount depending on the length of captivity of the veteran.
10.Claims need to be directed to the Canadian Embassy in Canberra or direct to the Department of Veterans' Affairs (Departement du Anciens Combatants), Charlotte, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
New Zealand
11.In recognition of the unique circumstances of their captivity, the New Zealand Government announced on 23 April 2001 that it is to make a single ex-gratia payment of NZ $30,000 to the surviving members of the New Zealand groups who were held prisoner by the Japanese during the World War II.
12.There are five categories of person who are entitled to make a claim for this ex-gratia payment. These are:
13.To claim a veteran needs to complete a claim form, which can be obtained by:
14.Since World War 2, successive Australian Governments have acknowledged the debt that Australia owes to ex-PoWs, especially those of the Japanese. Over the years policies have been developed and steps taken to compensate veterans who were subjected to harsh and brutal treatment at the hands of their captors. Successive Australian Governments have recognised the special circumstances of former PoWs and have compensated them by ensuring that their ongoing needs are met. For example, the government pays all nursing home fees regardless of means testing, former PoWs receive a Gold Card, which provides them with medical treatment of all conditions at the Department's expense. Special provisions are in place to accept conditions such as ulcers, hepatitis B, anxiety state and psychiatric depression as war caused disabilities for the purposes of disability pension.
15.The Australian Repatriation system and the British systems are very different. In Australia, the Department of Veterans' Affairs exclusively caters for the care, compensation and commemoration of veterans of Australia's Defence Force and their families. While in Britain, compensation for war veterans is within the general welfare system. In addition, the Australian system is more generous with respect to determining compensation claims. For example, the standard of proof for PoWs is based on the reverse criminal standard; that is the Commission must have legal reasonable doubt that there is no connection to service. With respect to widows, automatic grants of war widow's pension are made to the widows of former PoWs and, unlike the UK, war widows do not lose their pension on remarriage.
16 — Media reports have speculated on a similar ex gratia payment of
$25 000 to Australian ex PoW(J)s. At this time no announcement has been made and the reports can neither be confirmed nor denied. Further advice will be provided when any announcement is made.

Advisory from Disability Compensation Branch
No 7 of2001
Disability Compensation Branch and Legal Services Group have agreed this policy view. At this stage it is not a Repatriation Commission Guideline or a Departmental Instruction. The advice is not intended to conflict with the proper application of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 or any future judgements of the Courts. It may be subject to change as a result of further interpretation by the Courts of the legislation. It represents the considered view of the law as expressed by the Full Federal Court. Because it is a judgement of the Court every delegate is bound by the law it contains.
STANDARD OF PROOF IN DIAGNOSIS
This Advisory is to advise all staff involved in decision-making concerning diagnosis for the purpose of claims involving a reasonable hypothesis of how to use the Full Federal Court decision in Budworth.
The Commission's appeal to the Full Federal Court of Australia in Repatriation Commission v Budworth [2001] FCA 1421 has been decided. The Full Federal Court determined the key issue relating to the standard of proof on diagnosis.
The Full Federal Court held that:
“When the Commission, or the AAT on review, is required to determine whether a veteran is suffering from the claimed injury or disease, that issue must be decided to the “reasonable satisfaction” of the decision maker in accordance with s 120(4) of the Act.”
It had previously been thought that the decision of the Full Federal Court in Repatriation Commission v Cooke (1998) 90 FCR 301, which decided that the standard of proof to be applied in determining whether a veteran suffers from a claimed disease is “reasonable satisfaction”, had resolved this issue.
However, in three recent decisions of the Court (Budworth v Repatriation Commission [2001] FCA 317; Meehan v Repatriation Commission [2001] FCA 597; and Benjamin v Repatriation Commission [2001] FCA 522) the conflict on this issue again arose.
Single Federal Court judgements in Budworth (per Justice Madgwick J) and Meehan (per Justice Wilcox) had taken the view that Cooke holds that whether or not a veteran suffers from a disease is to be decided on the “reasonable satisfaction” standard. And further that the diagnosis of the particular disease is to be decided upon the reverse criminal standard.
In Benjamin, Justice Whitlam took the opposite approach and interprets Cooke as holding that the subsection 120(1) and (3) examination relates to the “present existence of the relevant disease” with other considerations, including diagnosis, to be determined under the reasonable satisfaction test prescribed by subsection 120(4).
The Commission has appealed to the Full Federal Court against the decisions of Budworth and Meehan, and an appeal has been lodged on behalf of the veteran in Benjamin. The Full Federal Court heard the case of Budworth on 7 August 2001 and the decision was handed on 10 October 2001.
The key statement by the Full Federal Court is at paragraph 15 of the decision. The Court stated that:
“Counsel for Mr Budworth argued that Cooke was incorrectly decided or clearly wrong and invited us not to follow it. We decline to take that course because we find the reasoning in Cooke persuasive. In our view,
s 120(1) of the Act assumes the existence of a relevant injury or disease and provides a standard of proof for the determination of whether that injury or disease was war-caused. When the Commission, or the AAT on review, is required to determine whether a veteran is suffering from the claimed injury or disease, that issue must be decided to the “reasonable satisfaction” of the decision maker in accordance with s 120(4) of the Act.”
The Full Federal Court cited with approval the statements Justice Weinberg in Repatriation Commission v Gosewinckel (1999) 59 ALD 690 which contained an analysis of why Cooke was correctly decided. The Court also cites with approval a statement made by Justice Whitlam in Benjamin where his Honour questioned both the decision in Budworth and the decision of Justice Wilcox in Meehan. At paragraph 20 of the decision, the Full Federal Court concludes that:
“We regard Cooke as decisive of the critical issue on this appeal, namely what standard of proof is to be applied when determining whether a claimed injury or disease exists.”
The determination of all conditions in relation to diagnosis is to be made on the balance of probabilities. The case of Budworth should be referred to in all AAT matters. To prevent any aberrant VRB decisions all delegates should insert a sentence that says that the determination of the diagnosis was to a standard of reasonable satisfaction on the basis of the Full Federal Court decision in Budworth.
