The money is paid into a special government account called the *War Pensions Fund*, which was established under the Audit Act. In practical terms, this legislation simply ensures that funds are available to pay pensions to veterans and their dependents for the year.\n\n**Key points:**\n- **What it does:** Allocates £10 million specifically for war pension payments\n- **Who it affects:** Veterans receiving pensions and the government department administering them\n- **Why it matters:** Without this appropriation, the government would not have legal authority to spend public money on these pensions"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1929","history":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1929/history","analysis":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1929/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1929/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1929/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1929/documents"}}
