The Permanent Impairment Calculator on our website based on the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (MRCA) is provided for general information and illustrative purposes only. It can not be relied upon as accurate, complete or reliable and it does not replace the assessment process undertaken by the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA).
The results of the calculation are based upon user input and assumptions and are not a guarantee of an outcome and can not be relied upon to assert any rights or entitlements to any amounts of compensation from the DVA. The calculator does not take into account personal circumstances and factors used in the calculation are subject to change without notice.
The results of the calculation are not a substitute for comprehensive assistance from trained professionals and can not be relied upon as legal or financial advice.
The DVA uses an internal permanent impairment calculator which is not made available to veterans or the general public to decide on your final compensation. They provide a detailed guide called the Guide to Determining Impairment and Compensation (GARP M), which identifies the permanent impairment calculation process based on a total impairment rating out of 100 points.
More information about the GARP M and MRCA can be found on the DVA website.
