Veterans have access to three sources of income from the government if they're injured.
The first is for permanent impairment, which you can take either as a lump sum or as a fortnightly payment, if you elect to do so.
Second, you also get access to your military superannuation scheme, which is a defined benefits superannuation scheme.
Third, if you're injured or ill, you get access to an incapacity payment. Your incapacity payment is matched to the salary and allowances you had when you left Defence. We bring your income up to that level.
