Part 5: Additional support payments for financial loss

Division 1: General

5.1.1 Overview
1.  Additional support payments provide additional financial assistance to applicants to whom a support payment is payable in relation to a member's absence on defence service if all of the following apply:
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                                          The applicant's business has incurred a substantial financial loss as a result of the member's absence on defence service, or due to injury or illness resulting from the member's defence service.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                                          The amount otherwise payable in relation to a particular claim period payable under Part 3 or Part 4 is insufficient to cover that financial loss.
2.  This Part provides the following:
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                                          How and when an application for an additional support payment is to be made.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                                          The financial losses that can be recovered by applying for an additional support payment.
    c.                                                                                                                                                                                                          The rules for determining if an additional support payment is payable.
    d.                                                                                                                                                                                                          When an additional support payment is to be made.
