in a class in Part A is eligible for the treatment in Part B as an entitled person under the Treatment Principles or as if the person is an entitled person under the Treatment Principles:

  PART A                                                                                                                   PART B

  A veteran eligible for treatment under Part V of the Act.                                                                TRCP treatment

  A dependant of a veteran – being a dependant eligible for treatment under Part V of the Act.

  A member eligible for treatment under Chapter 6 of the MRCA.

  A dependant of a member or of a former member – being a dependant eligible for treatment under Chapter 6 of the MRCA.

  Notes:

        * TRCP treatment may be applied to a non-service-related condition of a veteran, member or former member e.g. an otherwise "ineligible condition" of the holder of a White Card;

        * Because paragraph 88A(1)(d) of the Act enables eligibility for treatment to be determined for "a person", the person need not be a veteran or dependant of a veteran (persons normally covered by the Act) and may be a person covered by the MRCA.  Accordingly the MRCA Treatment Principles do not need a corresponding part dealing with TRCP Treatment.

        * Veterans and dependants of veterans are included in this instrument, albeit some veterans and dependants could be eligible for TRCP treatment without needing to be included in this instrument, so that TRCP treatment may be applied to any "ineligible condition" of a veteran i.e. a condition that is not service-related, and in relation to both veterans and dependants, so that TRCP treatment may be applied "whole-of-person" i.e. the person need not have any injury or disease.  Thus TRCP treatment may be applied to the effects of frailty caused by the ageing process.
