How is the status of war participant granted, and what documentation is required?

Social protection authorities grant the status upon application by the person or their representative. Applicants must provide supporting documentation such as employment or service records for a defined period, documentation of awards, or other proof of participation in military related activities. In cases related to the ATO/JFO, applicants typically need extracts from orders of the Anti Terrorist Centre, certificates of business or service trips to the ATO/JFO area or similar records. Applications are reviewed by a specialised commission within the social protection authority, which determines eligibility.
