This determination declares a one‑off $40 payment made to participants in the 2000 Assessment and Contestability Trial for People with Disabilities an exempt lump sum under the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986.
That $40 will be ignored in pension means tests, so veterans (and their partners/dependants) who received it won’t have their pension reduced or eligibility affected.
