The DVA hasn't reach Canadian levels of bad yet then? That's something

Yeah the vets here in Aus are treated abysmally too. There are a bunch of different pensions and stuff for free/discounted therapy in our semi socialist system. Let's say the vet wants physio and speech path, for a war wound affecting the face. NDIS (properly disabled people under 65) and medicare and aged-medicare/myagedcare are the big 3, and some private health insurance cases too. That there is 90% of their caseload, with another 8% being nominally private, getting some documentation to get onto the NDIS or something. DVA you rarely see, its that final 2% you don't often taketake. But when you do, the clinic either rejects it for it being so bad of a deal for them, pennies, compared to the main pensions and requiring yet more paperwork for something you rarely work with, politely suggest they go and look into getting onto one of the others before you'll see em, or take it on essentially out of charity/patriotism.
