Veterans are furious as Minister Matt Keogh admits he erred by initially refusing to meet with them over a controversial $5,000 cap on allied health services — a move that’s sparking fears of neglect and even despair among some.

The government defends the cap as necessary to curb overcharging, while opposition leaders call it “cruel” and warn of devastating mental health consequences. With a discussion paper promised soon, tensions rise as Australia grapples with balancing veteran care and fiscal responsibility.
