When a veteran makes a claim, their incapacity payments are based partly on their service salary, including these allowances. By specifically listing the Hardship Allowance here, the government ensures veterans who received this allowance during service have it included in their compensation calculations.\n\n**Key date**\nAlthough made in January 2006, the Determination took effect on **1 July 2004** (backdated commencement)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2006-no-1","history":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2006-no-1/history","analysis":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2006-no-1/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2006-no-1/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2006-no-1/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2006-no-1/documents"}}
