199: Veteran’s entitlement excludes any other benefit

You could also call this:

“Veterans can't get other benefits if they already get veteran support”

If you receive support under the Veterans’ Support Act 2014, you can’t get other benefits from the Social Security Act 2018. This means you only get one type of help, not both. However, there is an exception to this rule in section 200 of the Social Security Act.
