Because this scheme is \"approved,\" any payments received through this pilot are **disregarded** (don't count) when Centrelink calculates your benefits. This lets people participate in the self-managed care pilot without losing their social security payments.\n\n**Who it affects**\nPeople with disabilities in NSW who are part of the DADHC Direct Payment Pilot Project—a program that gives participants direct control over their attendant care funding instead of having the government manage it for them."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2006l00858","history":"/api/acts/f2006l00858/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2006l00858/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2006l00858/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2006l00858/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2006l00858/documents"}}
