Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document fixes a small clerical error in the title of a medical guideline about polycythaemia vera—a rare blood disorder where the body produces too many red blood cells.

Specifically, it updates the title of Instrument No. 11 of 2001 by changing an outdated reference from "Instrument No. 11 of 2000" to "Instrument No. 11 of 2001".

Why this matters: These medical guidelines (called Statements of Principles) determine whether veterans can receive compensation or treatment benefits for health conditions linked to their military service. Having the correct instrument number ensures that doctors, lawyers, and veterans reference the right legal document when making or assessing claims related to this blood condition.

The correction applies to all matters being considered under the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 and the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
