67: Who is entitled to entitlements

You could also call this:

"You can get help for accidents if you're hurt and qualify"

You can get help if you've been hurt in an accident. To get this help, two things need to be true. First, your injury must be covered by the accident compensation system. Second, the rules say you must qualify for the type of help you want. If both these things are true, you can get one or more types of help for your injury.
