Section 56EA — Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986: Cancellation or suspension determination for failure to comply with section 54A notice

(1) If: (a) a person who is receiving a service pension, income support supplement or a veteran payment is given a notice under section 54A or 54AA; and (b) the person does not comply with the requirements set out in the notice; the Commission may determine that the pension, income support supplement or veteran payment is to be cancelled or suspended. (2) A determination under subsection (1) must be in writing. Note 1: For the date of effect of a determination under this section see section 56H. Note 2: When a person’s pension is suspended under section 56EA, the provision of benefits under Division 12 to the person is generally suspended too. However, the Commission may decide that the person can continue to receive medical treatment under section 53D or Part V (see subsection 85(8)). Note 3: When a person’s pension is cancelled under section 56EA, the person’s benefits under Division 12 are generally cancelled too (but see also sections 56ED and 56EE).
