Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | Home and Community Care MDS 2009 Community Services (retired), Recorded 16/11/2009 Implementation start date: 11/05/2006 DSS specific information: This data element helps to identify sub-groups of particular policy interest, such as veterans and people with disabilities.
Code 4 should be used for care recipients who are not formally recognised by DVA as having any form of DVA entitlement, including those receiving the Aged Pension.
One of the values 1, 2 or 3 in this data element should be present in any client record with a value of 2 in Government pension/benefit status.
This data element should be recorded for all HACC care recipients at the beginning of each HACC service episode. The agency should also assess the currency of this information at subsequent assessments/re-assessments within a HACC service episode and should update the agency’s record of the person’s DVA entitlement if necessary.
This data element is required for reporting in the HACC MDS collection. Agencies are required to report the most recent DVA entitlement status that the agency has recorded for the person.
Information provided by the agency about the person’s DVA entitlement status will be considered to be at least as up to date as the Date of last update reported for the person. This is in line with the request that agencies assess and update the information they have about a person’s pension/benefit status at the beginning of each HACC service episode as well as at subsequent assessments/re-assessments within a HACC service episode.
If the agency’s system or records do not provide sufficient information to accurately report on this data element, the agency should use code 9 Not stated/inadequately described.
