Notes

These notes relate to rates for a partnered recipient WITH children.

Notes

Explanation

A

When applying the formula on other dates, the notional exchange rate for that date(s), shown in the following blocks, must be used. Each time the UK notional exchange rate was varied, a National Instruction setting out UK invalidity benefit rates in $A was also issued.

B

A revised Agreement with the UK came into effect on pension payday 2 July 1992. Under the revised agreement reciprocal coverage for DSP was no longer included. However, where an Australian DSP was paid under the previous agreement (with its rate limited to the rate of UK indefinite sickness benefit) that pension can continue to be paid but the rate is assessed in accordance with the usual rating provisions of the Act.

C

Payday 18 June 1992 is the last rate update.
