This gave participants cash payments to arrange their own care rather than having services provided directly.\n\n**Why it matters**\nNormally, receiving money for care could reduce your Centrelink payments (like the Disability Support Pension). By approving this as a \"scheme\" under the Social Security Act, payments received through this pilot project are disregarded when calculating Commonwealth benefits. This protects participants' pensions while giving them choice and control over their care.\n\n**Who it affects**\nPeople in New South Wales participating in the DADHC Direct Payment Pilot Project under the Attendant Care Program during 2006."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2006l00719","history":"/api/acts/f2006l00719/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2006l00719/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2006l00719/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2006l00719/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2006l00719/documents"}}
