This classification determines:\n- What types of injuries or conditions qualify for disability pensions\n- The level of compensation available to veterans who were harmed during the operation\n- Access to certain rehabilitation and support services\n\nNon-warlike service typically covers peacekeeping, humanitarian, or stability operations where there is some risk but not the same level of hostile conflict as \"warlike\" operations. This determination ensures veterans of Operation Trek can access benefits appropriate to the nature of their deployment."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-non-warlike-service-operation-trek-23-11-2000","history":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-non-warlike-service-operation-trek-23-11-2000/history","analysis":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-non-warlike-service-operation-trek-23-11-2000/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-non-warlike-service-operation-trek-23-11-2000/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-non-warlike-service-operation-trek-23-11-2000/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-non-warlike-service-operation-trek-23-11-2000/documents"}}
