116A Simplified outline of this Division
This Division tells you how to work out the amount of compensation a member receives for a week if the member receives or has received a benefit under a Commonwealth superannuation scheme. (However, this Division might not apply if the member has applied for the benefit, but has not begun to receive or has not received the benefit (see section 89B).)
The method of working out the amount of compensation depends on whether the member:
is receiving only a Commonwealth superannuation pension (see section 116B); or
has received only a Commonwealth superannuation lump sum (see section 116C); or
has received a lump sum and is receiving a pension (see section 116D).
Basically, the amount of compensation paid is the amount worked out under Division 1 reduced by the amount of superannuation received.
