Amount of compensation for person receiving only Commonwealth superannuation pension
116B Amount of compensation for person receiving only Commonwealth superannuation pension
If paragraph 89A(a) applies to a person, the amount of compensation that the Commonwealth is liable, under section 85, 86 or 87, to pay to the person for a week is worked out using the following formula:
Start formula Person's Division 1 compensation amount minus Person's superannuation pension amount end formula
In this Division:
Division 1 compensation amount for a person for a week means the amount of compensation the person would have been paid for the week if subsection 89(1) had applied.
superannuation pension amount for a person who receives a pension for a week under a Commonwealth superannuation scheme means:
if the scheme identifies a part of the pension as attributable to the contributions made under or to the scheme by the Commonwealth or a Commonwealth authority—the amount of that part; or
in any other case, either:
the amount assessed by the Commission to be the part of the pension that is attributable to the contributions made under or to the scheme by the Commonwealth or a Commonwealth authority; or
if such an assessment cannot be made—the amount of the pension received by the person for the week.
