Different methods for working out the amount of compensation apply in different situations (such as where a person is receiving or has received a benefit under a Commonwealth superannuation scheme). This Subdivision gives an overview of where these different methods are found in this Division.

The normal rule for working out the amount of compensation is found in Subdivision C.

Special rules apply in the following cases:

  (a)   retired persons who are receiving or have received a benefit under a Commonwealth superannuation scheme (although the amount of compensation the persons receive might be worked out under Subdivision C if the persons have applied for the benefit, but have not begun to receive or have not received the benefit) (see sections   126 and 126A);

  (b)   those maintained in hospitals etc. (see section   127);

  (c)   those receiving small amounts of compensation (see Subdivision E);

  (d)   those who choose to receive a Special Rate Disability Pension (see Part   6).
