This determination revokes a 2005 decision that had granted \"warlike\" status to service in this specific area during the Vietnam War period.\n\n**Impact:** Affected veterans may lose access to benefits tied specifically to warlike service for that time and location, unless they qualify through other service periods."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-revocation-of-warlike-service","history":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-revocation-of-warlike-service/history","analysis":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-revocation-of-warlike-service/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-revocation-of-warlike-service/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-revocation-of-warlike-service/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-revocation-of-warlike-service/documents"}}
