The Military Compensation Act 1994, which commenced on 7 April 1994, provided that clients continue to receive weekly compensation at 100% of normal weekly earnings for the first 45 weeks of incapacity, in respect of payments made under Ss20, 21 and 21A. This beneficial amendment applies only to clients who were discharged on or after 7 April 1994.
If a client was discharged before 7 April 1994, compensation paid under Ss20, 21 and 21A is reduced to 75%* of NWE immediately upon discharge from the ADF.
[* the percentage of NWE may be higher if the client engages in suitable employment.]
