Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document makes a minor technical update to the medical rules for veterans claiming compensation for otitis externa (inflammation or infection of the outer ear canal).

Specifically, it removes the definition of "diabetes mellitus" from the previous version of these rules (Instrument No. 74 of 2001).

What this means:

This is a housekeeping amendment — it tidies up the definitions section by deleting one medical term
It does not change who is eligible to make a claim for ear conditions
It applies to all existing matters under the Veterans' Entitlements Act relating to this condition
