Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986

This Division applies to a person on a day if service pension or income support supplement is payable to the person on that day.

For the purposes of subsection (1), and without limiting that subsection, service pension or income support supplement is taken to be payable to a person on a day (the test day) if:

service pension or income support supplement ceases to be payable to the person on a day (the cessation day) occurring on or before the test day; and

that cessation occurs because of employment income the person or the person’s partner earns, derives or receives (either alone or in combination with any other ordinary income earned, derived or received by the person or the person’s partner); and

were it not for the employment income, or the combined income, referred to in paragraph (b), the pension or supplement would be payable to the person throughout the period:

starting on the cessation day; and

ending on the test day; and

the cessation day occurs no earlier than 12 weeks before the test day.

This Division applies to a person on a day if:

the person receives for that day a pension under Part II or IV at a rate determined under or by reference to section 22, 23, 24, 25 or 27; and

the person’s rate of the pension is greater than nil for that day.

This Division applies to a person on a day if:

the person receives for that day a pension under Part II or IV at a rate determined under or by reference to subsection 30(1); and

the person’s rate of the pension is greater than nil for that day.

For the purposes of subsections (3) and (4), a person is taken to receive a pension under Part II or IV at a rate greater than nil even if the person’s rate would be nil, or pension would not be payable, merely because the rate is reduced, or pension is not payable, under Division 4, 5 or 5A of Part II or section 74.

This Division applies to a person on a day if:

veteran payment is payable to the person on that day; and

veteran payment is so payable because of a claim made on or before that day.
