Veterans’ Affairs guide now available
3rd July, 2015
Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss, said today that a guide explaining the range of benefits available to Australia’s ex-service men and women is now available from his electorate office.
“The A to Z of Veteran Affairs guide explains as simply as possible the pensions and benefits that are available to veterans,” Mr Truss said.
“It is important for ex-service personnel to have access to the latest information on the level of support they are entitled to receive.
“The guide summarises the range of services that are available to veterans, outlines the general eligibility criteria for the benefits, and provides a reference point as to where more detailed information can be obtained,” Mr Truss said.
“Australia’s veterans have served their country with pride and distinction, securing peace and freedom for our nation.
“Many veterans continue to make contributions to help others and strengthen their communities. All Australians have an obligation to respect their service to our country and ensure they have the support they need in their retirement years.”
Copies of the Veterans’ Affairs guide can be requested by telephoning Mr Truss’s office on 1300 301 968 (toll-free) or on 4121 2936. Alternatively, requests can be made via email through Mr Truss’s website at: www.warrentruss.com.
