Household Domestic Services
Who can receive it
You may be eligible if you:
-
are unable to manage household tasks because of your accepted service-related injury or condition (accepted under MRCA or DRCA); and
-
are assessed as having a reasonable requirement for household services
If you have a Veteran Gold Card or a Veteran White Card for an accepted service related injury and condition, you are eligible for a VHC assessment.
Every Veteran's case is different and will depend on the accepted MRCA / DRCA condition(s) as well as their environment. Therefore, DVA has an Occupational Therapist undertake an assessment to look at the many layers that create a Veteran's individualised approval for compensation through household services.
There are limitations that can also affect the amount of household services approved, one of these being the weekly statutory limit, also found at the link above.
