This is a personalized statutory instrument, not a general rule applying to all personnel.\n\n**Why it matters**\nIt creates a legal basis for the Commonwealth to pay this specific amount to this specific person under the Defence Act 1903. These \"individual benefits\" determinations are typically used where someone is entitled to compensation, back-pay, or an ex-gratia (goodwill) payment that isn't covered by standard military pay rules."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/defence-individual-benefits-determination-2021-no-8","history":"/api/acts/defence-individual-benefits-determination-2021-no-8/history","analysis":"/api/acts/defence-individual-benefits-determination-2021-no-8/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/defence-individual-benefits-determination-2021-no-8/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/defence-individual-benefits-determination-2021-no-8/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/defence-individual-benefits-determination-2021-no-8/documents"}}
