This determination declares that specific veterans' lump sum to be an **exempt lump sum** — meaning Centrelink completely ignores it when working out how much money you get. This ensures people aren't financially penalised on their social security benefits just because they received compensation for the closure of a veterans' scheme."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-dependants-pension-lump-sum-payment-and-closure-deewr-determination-","history":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-dependants-pension-lump-sum-payment-and-closure-deewr-determination-/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-dependants-pension-lump-sum-payment-and-closure-deewr-determination-/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-dependants-pension-lump-sum-payment-and-closure-deewr-determination-/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-dependants-pension-lump-sum-payment-and-closure-deewr-determination-/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-dependants-pension-lump-sum-payment-and-closure-deewr-determination-/documents"}}
