Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document cancels (revokes) an earlier medical guideline about metatarsalgia — pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot — that was used to assess veterans' disability claims.

What it does:

Officially cancels the Statement of Principles concerning metatarsalgia Instrument No. 40 of 1996
Removes the specific medical criteria that previously determined whether a veteran's foot pain was connected to their military service

Who it affects:

Veterans and former defence personnel claiming compensation for foot conditions under the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 or Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004
Decision-makers who assess whether medical conditions are service-related

Why it matters:

When this instrument takes effect (30 March 2011), the old medical rules no longer apply
Claims for metatarsalgia must be assessed under different medical principles (such as newer guidelines or general compensation provisions)
