Katterns and Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission (Compensation)

Katterns (the applicant) sought review of decisions made by the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission (the Commission) concerning compensation for a service injury or disease. The matter came before Deputy President I R Molloy of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the Commission's decisions, which affirmed previous determinations regarding the applicant's compensation, were correct. This involved an assessment of the medical evidence presented in relation to the service injury or disease.

Deputy President Molloy considered the available medical evidence and, based on that evidence, concluded that the Commission's prior decisions were sound. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed each of the reviewable decisions made by the Commission.
