5  Transitional—existing determinations that income support supplement payable
The repeal and substitution of section 45A of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 made by this Schedule does not affect the validity, after the commencement of this Schedule, of a determination that was in force under section 45Q of that Act immediately before that commencement.

Note 1: This item ensures that a determination in force before that commencement that income support supplement was payable to a person continues in force after that commencement.

Note 2: This item also ensures that, if the determination referred to the supplement being payable because the person was permanently incapacitated for work, payments of the supplement to the person after that commencement will be on the grounds of permanent incapacity.

Note 3: Section 52‑65 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 provides for payments of income support supplement to be exempt from income tax in certain situations if the supplement is received on the grounds of permanent incapacity.
