Military Veterans Registration Form
There appears to be some confusion with the registration of Military Veterans by the Department of Military Veterans, DMV. See copy of advertisement below that appeared in newspapers recently.
It appears that this registration is being done in a few phases. The first one is to update the details of those 56,000 already on the database. The second phase is to register the rest of the military veterans and to verify them.
Unfortunately as no-one knew if they were on the list of not has resulted in a number of military veterans make a trip to the two registration posts per province only to be told that they are not on the list. A hand written list appears to have been started so that their names are recorded.
In order to assist any military veteran to ensure that they are registered, the CMVO has shortened the original DMV form and created one that can be filled in either online on www.cmvo.org (will be available shortly) or use the attached form. Please return to us ASAP.
The CMVO will then send this information to DMV so that when the next registration takes place DMV or CMVO will contact you so that we ensure you are registered.
Why should you register? For your own peace of mind, if you become ill and need assistance at one of the Military hospitals, you need to be a registered military veteran. This will ensure that the medics can attend to you immediately. Also if you do need any other assistance at less you have already registered. This does not mean that you are automatically going to get any benefits at all - there will be means tests to ensure only those that really need assistance will get it.
Fraud. Please report anyone that is charging for this registration or any of the free of charge forms that are available. Also anyone that makes promises that there are automatic pensions or payouts to any military veteran. Only the DMV can do this after investigation. We have found a number of organizations who make false promises for money.
The new Military Veterans Act 18 of 2011 has been approved in its original format so everyone with a force number and not dishonourably discharged is eligible to be a military veteran. So the petition and lots of queries has had it's affect. Thanks to all those that supported and assisted us.
New organizations. Should you be aware of any organization that wishes to get involved with the CMVO so that they are kept up to date with what is happening with military veterans, please let them contact us. If there is a group of military veterans who wish to start a group please let us know so that we can try to give you guidelines and ideas of how to go about it.
Join an organization. Any individual who wishes to join a military veteran organization should inform the CMVO which Service, Corps or unit they belonged to so that we can direct them to an organization as well as where they live.
Contact CMVO. CMVO is now on Facebook, look under cmvo for open group and page (Council of Military Veterans' Organisations (CMVO)). Join us and lets start communicating with each other. Also on our website www.cmvo.org or email us on chairman@cmvo.org or fax 0866848592. Please only phone if emergency, one person cannot handle everyone's phone calls.
Kind regards
