Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004

Generally, the amount of compensation that the Commonwealth is liable, under section 118, to pay to a person for a week is worked out under Subdivision C.

Subsection (1) does not apply if any of the following provisions apply instead:

section 126 (retired persons receiving a Commonwealth superannuation benefit);

section 127 (those maintained in hospitals etc.);

Subdivision E (small amounts of compensation);

Part 6 (those who choose to receive a Special Rate Disability Pension).

If an amount of compensation worked out under this Division is nil or a negative amount, then the Commonwealth is not liable to pay the compensation for the week.
