We were provided with statistics according to which, in Canada, 60% of first-time compensation claims submitted to the Department of Veterans Affairs by veterans or soldiers who are accident victims are refused. We are wondering why this is. This is a process, a system, if you will, that seems to force people to appeal the refusal. At the appeal stage, 42% of the applications are granted. Does Australia have any statistics on compensation claims?
On February 28th, 2011. See this statement in context.
