Without this formal recognition, injured reservists might receive lower compensation payments.\n\n**Who is affected**\n\n*   Australian Defence Force reservists who receive Reserve Service Allowance\n*   The Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission (which administers payments)\n\n**Key details**\n\n*   The allowance itself is paid under a separate Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal determination (No. 6 of 1992)\n*   This determination applies retrospectively from **1 September 2006**"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2008","history":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/military-rehabilitation-and-compensation-pay-related-allowances-determination-2008/documents"}}
