Amendment of Australian Soldiers’ Repatriation Regulations.
After Regulation 42 of the Australian Soldiers’ Repatriation Regulations, the following Regulation is inserted:—
Payment of lump sum in lieu of pension.
42a. In a case where the Commission has given approval for the pension of a member of the Forces to be paid in a lump sum in accordance with Section 32 of the Act the Commission may assess a lump sum which would in its opinion be equivalent to the payment of pensions to which the member’s dependants would be entitled under the Act and in that case the liability to payment of the lump sum so assessed shall with the consent of the dependants be substituted for the liability to payment of a pension under the Act.
