﻿ Reviews Under Section 31
Home > Compensation and Support Policy Library > Part 12 Compliance and Obligations > 12.5 Reviews and Appeals > 12.5.6 Veterans' Compensation and Review of Decisions by the Repatriation Commission > Reviews Under Section 31
The Commission [3] can review its own decisions on veterans' compensation pensions or attendant allowance under section 31 [4] in the VEA [3][glossary:.:] This is a relatively quick and informal review process.
The Commission can review any decision that the VRB [3] or AAT [3] is able to review (with the person's consent in the case of AAT Review), provided that:
a manifest error in the date approved by the VRB in its decision substituting a Commission decision, VEA → [6]
a decision the Commission made with evidence before it that was false, VEA → [7]
where the Commission is satisfied that disability pension or attendant allowance should be cancelled, suspended or is higher or less than it should be, and VEA → [8]
where the Commission is satisfied that the rate of pension payable to a veteran is higher than it should be because the degree of incapacity for accepted conditions [3] for war caused injury or disease is less than 10%. VEA → [9]
Whether the Commission [3] conducts a section 31 review is at the Commission's discretion. If the Commission refuses or fails to review a decision under section 31, neither the VRB [3] nor the AAT can review that refusal or failure to review.
