Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Determination lists which military allowances count as pay-related allowances under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (the MRC Act).

What it does

Specifies that the Hardship Allowance is a pay-related allowance for the purposes of the MRC Act.
Confirms this allowance was paid under Defence Determinations 2003/21 and 2005/15.

Why this matters Pay-related allowances are factored into compensation calculations for injured or ill veterans. When a veteran makes a claim, their incapacity payments are based partly on their service salary, including these allowances. By specifically listing the Hardship Allowance here, the government ensures veterans who received this allowance during service have it included in their compensation calculations.

Key date Although made in January 2006, the Determination took effect on 1 July 2004 (backdated commencement).
