This law prevents that from happening with Defence Abuse Reparation Payments, ensuring victims of abuse don't lose their financial safety net when they receive compensation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-defence-abuse-reparation-scheme-diiccsrte-determination-2013","history":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-defence-abuse-reparation-scheme-diiccsrte-determination-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-defence-abuse-reparation-scheme-diiccsrte-determination-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-defence-abuse-reparation-scheme-diiccsrte-determination-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-defence-abuse-reparation-scheme-diiccsrte-determination-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-defence-abuse-reparation-scheme-diiccsrte-determination-2013/documents"}}
