I don't know if I'm supposed to do this, but here goes.
This is from an Australian Government website.
The following is a list of conditions for which compensation can be claimed under subsection 7(2) of the SRCA. *Conditions on the list were identified by a Doctor’s Advisory Committee as being related to F-111 deseal/reseal service, based on consideration of the results of the Study of Health Outcomes in Aircraft Maintenance Personnel (SHOAMP).
*
However, while the SHOAMP found an ‘association’ between F-111 work and the following conditions, this is not the same as saying that the work directly caused the condition.* (An ‘association’ is a weaker standard than a direct causative factor).* You may therefore find that your medical practitioner may have a differing view about causative factors.
*
The Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission invoked SRCA 7 (2) for the following conditions for F-111 deseal/reseal and other F-111 fuel tank maintenance personnel:
*
·****** Acquired colour vision deficiency
·****** Agoraphobia with panic disorder
·****** Anxiety
·****** Bi-polar affective disorder
·****** Bowel polyps
·****** Cauda equina syndrome
·****** Depression
·****** Diverticulitis
·****** Dysplastic naevus
·****** Eczema/dermatitis
·****** Erectile dysfunction
·****** Impaired cognition
·****** Irritable bowel disorder
·****** Liver disease
·****** Malignant neoplasms (ie, various forms of cancer)
·****** Memory loss
·****** Mixed connective tissue disease
·****** Myeloproliferative disorders
·****** Multiple sclerosis
·****** Neurogenic bladder
·****** Non-alcoholic toxic encephalopathy
·****** Pancreatic disease
·****** Panic disorders
·****** Parkinson’s disease
·****** Peripheral neuropathy
·****** Sarcoidosis
·****** Sleep disorders with neurological basis
·****** Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
·****** Spinal muscular atrophy
·****** Ulcerative colitis/Crohn’s disease
·****** Vertigo
*
Invoking the SRCA subsection 7 (2) provisions for the above conditions means easier access to compensation for F-111 personnel.* But when making a claim for any of these conditions, please remember to include any medical evidence you have of a medical diagnosis.
*
For diagnostic purposes, International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes are used for the above conditions. This means that, if you are diagnosed with a condition above, it must meet the ICD code ascribed by the Doctor’s Advisory Committee for that condition.*
