Who This Is For

When Paid Help
Is Worth Paying For.

Not everyone needs an advocate. Over half of all DVA claims are lodged by veterans themselves, and free ESO advocates exist. One condition, clean evidence? Use the free help.

Paid help earns its keep when the claim is complex: a stack of conditions across years of service, a knockback to review, or a medical separation, a family and a new job landing at once. That is who BAC is for. DVA is aware of commission rates as high as 29%; how BAC's fixed fee works is on the fees page.

What a DVA Advocate Does

The Job, Stage by Stage.

Before Anything Is Lodged

Your whole service history, not just the condition you rang about, and a plain answer on whether you need paid help.

  • Every condition, not just the obvious
  • Free help or paid, answered straight
  • Fee in writing before any work

Building the Evidence

DVA does not accept a claim on vibes. The job is medical evidence linking each condition to service, before lodgement, not after a knockback.

  • GP and specialist reports coordinated
  • Service medical records pulled together
  • Gaps closed before DVA finds them

Lodging and Chasing DVA

I prepare the claim, lodge it complete and chase DVA until a decision lands. You get a name to ring, not a call centre.

  • Lodged complete the first time
  • DVA chased until the decision
  • One person who knows your file

After the Decision

An accepted condition is the start. Permanent Impairment, reassessments when conditions worsen, and the review when DVA says no are the same job.

  • Permanent Impairment once accepted
  • Reviews, up to the Veterans' Review Board
  • Not a law firm: a plain word when you need one
What You'll Need

Bring What You Have.

  • Service dates and roles, and every condition you think is service-related
  • Any DVA decision letters and medical reports you already hold
  • Any fee agreement you signed with another advocate. DVA says you can switch.
Common Questions

Straight Answers.

Do I need a DVA advocate at all?

+
Not always. DVA's own consultation paper says over half of all claims are lodged by veterans themselves. If the claim is simple and the evidence clean, do it yourself with my guide on how to make a DVA claim.

Free ESO advocate or paid: what is the difference?

+
ESO advocates are trained through the Advocacy Training and Development Program, insured, bound by a code of ethics, and they do not charge. The DVA Advocacy Register lists ESOs by location and service. Hold a paid advocate to at least that standard.

Will an advocate get my claim decided faster or approved?

+
No, and anyone promising that is selling something. DVA says plainly that paying for advocacy does not guarantee faster processing, a successful outcome or more compensation. What an advocate changes is what goes in: every condition, backed by evidence, lodged complete.

What should I ask before I sign with any advocate?

+
The total fee, in writing, before work starts. Whether any of it comes from your compensation, impairment points or a card outcome. What you owe if you stop. Where your information is stored. Ask me the same; all seven are in the guide.

Do not need me? Good. Use the free help. If you want the whole thing carried, that is what BAC does, from the first claim through to Permanent Impairment. Read the full guide on choosing a DVA advocate before you sign with anyone, including me. Fixed fee. No percentage cuts. You know what it costs before we start.

Not Sure You Need One?
Ask Me.

No obligation. If you can do it yourself, I will say so.
