MILITARY REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION ACT 2004 - SECT 231

Simplified outline of this Chapter

This Chapter provides for compensation and other benefits for dependants of certain deceased, current and former members.

Most of the benefits are provided to dependants of deceased members to whom section   12 applies. That section applies to a deceased member who died from a service death or who suffered a serious impairment from a service injury or disease before his or her death.

Part   2 provides compensation for the partners of these members if the partners were wholly dependent on the member before the member's death.

Part   3 provides compensation for the children of these members. Other young people who were dependent on a deceased member before the member's death might also be entitled to compensation.

The Commission can set up a scheme under Part   3 to provide education and training for the children and young dependants of deceased members, as well as for the children and young dependants of some current and former members.

Part   4 provides compensation for other dependants who were wholly or partly dependent on a deceased member to whom section   12 applies.

Part   5 provides compensation for the cost of such a deceased member's funeral.
