What Are CSC
Superannuation Claims?

The Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) manages superannuation funds for ADF personnel and the Australian Public Service, including ADF Super, MilitarySuper, and DFRDB. A CSC superannuation claim is a request for benefits available through your super fund due to an injury, illness or medical condition that affects your ability to work. This includes invalidity classifications, income protection and disability payments. CSC claims rely on medical assessments, service records, and detailed paperwork to confirm your eligibility for compensation and how your condition affects your day-to-day functioning. The claims process can be complicated. But you don’t need to navigate it by yourself. Our team at KSC Law is here to help you make sense of CSC claims.

Common Situations Where DVA Claims May Apply

No two veterans share the same story. 

And no two DVA claims look the same.

Claims can arise from many service-related experiences, including:

  • Physical injuries
  • Chronic or degenerative conditions
  • PTSD and psychological injuries
  • Deployment-related illness or injury
  • Conditions that worsen over time

Our DVA claims lawyers and paralegals take the time to understand your service history and how your condition affects your daily life. Your claim should reflect what you’ve lived through, not just what’s written in a report. That’s where KSC LAW makes a difference.

Types of
DVA Compensation and Entitlements

DVA compensation can take different forms, depending on your service history, medical evidence, and the legislation that applies. This may include:
  • Permanent impairment compensation

    Payment for lasting physical or psychological impairment caused by service.

  • Treatment and rehabilitation support

    Funded medical care, therapies, and rehabilitation to support recovery and daily function.

  • Income replacement benefits

    Financial support if your service-related condition limits your ability to work.

  • Coverage of service-related medical expenses

    Payment for approved medical treatment linked to accepted conditions.

  • Death and dependant entitlements

    Financial support and benefits for partners, children, or dependants.

Each entitlement is assessed differently.
Evidence matters.
Timing matters.
And understanding the legislation matters.

Our experienced DVA claim and compensation lawyers work alongside you to help secure the support and entitlements you’ve earned.
