MRCA Policy Manual Chapter 11.1 [12]
A statutory increase is the process of indexing pensions, allowances, limits and thresholds to maintain their value against increases in the cost of living and/or average earnings. Most amounts are indexed against movements in the Consumer Price Index [16] [glossary:(:]CPI [16][glossary:):] while some are also benchmarked against Male Total Average Weekly Earnings [16] [glossary:(:]MTAWE [16][glossary:):]. The [glossary:Pensioner and Beneficiary Living Cost Index:] (PBLCI [16][glossary:),:] which specifically measures the cost of living for pensioners, is also used for some amounts. Some amounts are not indexed.

Section 9.7.2 Indexation of Pensions and Allowances [22]
Section 9.7.3 Indexation Timetable [24]
Current Payment Rates [26]
The Pensioner and Beneficiary Living Cost Index (PBLCI) is used to adjust the maximum basic rate [16] (MBR) of pension where movement in the PBLCI is greater than movement in the consumer price index [16] (CPI) for the relevant indexation period. The PBLCI specifically measures changes in the cost of living experienced by pensioner and beneficiary households to ensure that pension rates keep up with the changes in their cost of living. Movements in the CPI will be compared to movements in the PBLCI and the pension MBR will be indexed in line with the higher of these two indexes before benchmarking to male total average weekly earnings (MTAWE) [16].
Section 59C [31] VEA
Section 59EAA [32] VEA
Section 59EA [33] VEA
The Consumer Price Index (CPI [16]) provides the official measure of inflation in Australia. The CPI is calculated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Movement in the CPI is measured quarterly for the three month periods ending 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December each year. The CPI figures are normally publ — ished around four weeks after the end of the quarter. The CPI is not a percentage but an index number. Any two numbers from the index can be compared to calculate a percentage change.
The CPI indexation factor is determined by comparing two quarters of CPI figures. The more recent of these quarters is known as the reference quarter [16] and the older is known as the base quarter [16]. The CPI number for the reference quarter is divided by the CPI number for the base quarter, rounding the answer to three decimal places.
Section 59D [39] VEA
VEA → (go back) [40]
The reference quarter is the more recent of the two quarters of CPI [16] or PBLCI [16] data used in indexing a payment rate, limit or threshold. The reference quarter CPI or PBLCI figure is compared to the base quater [16] CPI or PBLCI figure to determine the indexation factor to be applied. The reference quarter is defined in the legislation and varies according to the amount being indexed.
The base quarter is the older of the two quarters of CPI [16] or PBLCI [16] data used in indexing a payment rate or limit or threshold. The reference quater [16] of the CPI or PBLCI figure is compared to the base quarter CPI or PBLCI figure to determine the indexation factor to be applied. The base quarter is defined in the legislation and varies according to the amount being indexed.
The [glossary:Pensioner and Beneficiary Living Cost Index:] (PBLCI [16][glossary:):] measures changes in the cost of living experienced by pensioner and beneficiary households to ensure that pension rates keep up with the increases in the cost of living experienced by pensioners. The PBLCI is calculated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and is usually published around five weeks after the end of a quarter. Movement in the PBLCI is measured quarterly for the three month periods ending 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December each year. The PBLCI is not a percentage but an index number. Any two numbers from the index can be compared to calculate a percentage change.
The PBLCI indexation factor is determined by comparing two quarters of PBLCI figures. The more recent of these quarters is known as the reference quarter [16] and the older is known as the base quarter [16].

MTAWE is a measure of the Male Total Average Weekly Earnings [16] paid in Australia in the measurement period. MTAWE is calculated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. It is produced for the June and and December quarters. The reference period used in each quarter is the last pay period ending on or before the third Friday of the middle month of the reference quarter (i.e. May and November). The MTAWE figure is commonly referred to by the middle month of the reference quarter. For example, the MTAW — E figure for the December quarter is known as the November figure because the reference period is in November. The MTAWE figure is normally published around eleven weeks after the reference period.
The partnered maximum basic rate [16] [glossary:(:]MBR [16][glossary:):] of service pension is the only amount directly affected by MTAWE. A number of payments are indirectly affected by MTAWE through the pension MBR factor [16] or through benchmarking against the partnered MBR.
VEA → (go back) [53]
The pension MBR factor is the percentage increase in the 'not a member of a couple' service pension maximum basic rate. It is used for the indexation [16] of some payments, limits and thresholds. The factor is calculated each time the rate of service pension is indexed and is equal to the new 'not a member of a couple' MBR divided by the previous 'not a member of a couple' MBR.
If the Consumer Price Index [16] [glossary:(:]CPI [16][glossary:):] or [glossary:Pensioner and Beneficiary Living Cost Index (:]PBLCI [16][glossary:):] figure for the reference quarter [16] is less than the figure for the base quarter [16], the indexation factor calculated under that index is set to equal 1. If the indexation factor under both CPI and PBLCI is equal to 1, there will be no CPI or PBLCI increase to pensions, allowances, thresholds or limits for that period. The amounts will not reduce. For the maximum basic rate [16] [glossary:(:]MBR [16][glossary:):] of service pension [16], if the comparison of the CPI and PBLCI figures results in no increase, the MBR may still be increased by Male Total Average Weekly Earnings [16] [glossary:(:]MTAWE [16][glossary:):] benchmarking.
Section 59B [58] VEA
The partnered maximum basic rate [16] (MBR) is indexed each 20 March and 20 September by the greater of CPI [16] and PBLCI [16], then further increased if necessary so that it equals 50% of the MTAWE [16] benchmark. The MTAWE benchmark is 41.76% of MTAWE. The combined partnered MBR is set at double the partnered MBR and the 'not a member of a couple' MBR is then set at 66.33% of the combined partnered MBR. Different rules apply for the transitional rate of service pension.
The combined partnered rate of pension supplement [16] is indexed each 20 March and 20 September with CPI only. The 'not a member of a couple' rate of service pension is set to be 66.33% of the combined partnered rate while the partnered rate is set at 50% of the combined partnered rate.
The maximum rate of service pension is equal to the sum of the MBR and the pension supplement. Rent assistance [16], clean energy supplement [16] and remote area allowance [16] may also be added to the maximum rate payable.
VEA → [62]
The pension MBR factor [16] is the new 'not a member of a couple' MBR divided by the old 'not a member of a couple' MBR, rounded to three decimal places. Special rules applied in calculating the factor on 20 September 2009. The factor is calculated at the same time that service pension rates are indexed. The factor is used to index certain amounts, instead of directly indexing them using CPI or other increases:
income support supplement [16] (ISS),
ceiling rate [16] of service pension paid to war widow/widower [16] veterans with qualifying service,
war widow's/widower's pension [16] (paragraph 30(1)(b) component only), and
disability pensions [16] (both the general rate and above general rate [16] components). More → [63]
The ceiling rate [16] for ISS and for war widow(er) pensioners entitled to service pension is indexed each 20 March and 20 September using the pension MBR factor. This also applies to the ceiling rate of service pension paid to war widow/widower veterans with qualifying service.

The pension supplement is added to a person's maximum basic rate [16]. The pension supplement is calculated as a 'combined couple' rate. The 'not a member of a couple' rate is 66.33% of the 'combined couple' rate. The member of a couple rate is 50% of the combined couple rate. From 1 July 2010, the minimum pension supplement amount [16] will be able to be claimed on a quarterly basis rather than on a fortnightly basis.
a veteran [16]; or
a person who was a member of the forces [16]; and
a war widow's/widower's pension [16]; or
Refer to 5E(1) [87] of the VEA for the full definition.
A form of pension that is paid to the partner of a veteran where the veteran has died as a result of war service or eligible Defence Service [16]. War widow's/widower's pension is also paid to the partner of a veteran whose death was not war caused if the veteran was a ex-prisoner of war or if the veteran was receiving Extreme Disablement Adjustment Rate [16], Special Rate (T&PI) [16] or a rate increased in respect of certain war-caused injury or disease.
Above general rate disability pensions, which include T&PI [16], TTI [16], Intermediate Rate [16] or EDA [16] .
The veterans supplement was introduced on 20 September 2009 as part of the Government's Secure and Sustainable Pension Reform package. It is a fortnightly payment that replaces pharmaceutical allowance [16] and/or telephone allowance [16] for compensation recipients who are not in receipt of an income support supplement [16]. There are two rates, the veterans supplement low rate and the veterans supplement high rate. The low rate replaces one of the allowances and the high rate replaces both. The low rate is indexed every January to the Consumer Price Index [16] (CPI). The high rate is always twice the amount of the low rate.
A clean energy underlying payment means any pension, payment, supplement or allowance under the VEA or MRCA that attracts a clean energy advance [16] and energy supplement [16].

Veterans supplement [16]
A form of pension that is paid to a child of a veteran where the veteran has died as a result of war service [16] or defence service [16]. The child may be the natural or adopted child of the veteran or any other child who was wholly or substantially dependent [16] on the veteran.
There are a number of payments, limits and rates that are not subject to indexation [16]. These include:
without adequate means of support pension [16] allowances,
defence force income support allowance [16] (DFISA),
remote area allowance [16],
education entry payment [16],
taper rates [16] under the income and assets tests.
Defence Force Income Support Allowance (DFISA) is an income support payment [16] to be made by DVA [16] to people whose income support payment under Social Security Law [16] is reduced, or not payable, because of the impact of adjusted disability pension [16]. DFISA is the difference between the person's existing entitlement, and what the entitlement would have been had adjusted DP been exempt, but was assessed in the calculation of rent assistance.
Education Entry Payment (EdEP) is a payment to assist eligible pensioners with the costs of enrolling in a course of study in order to develop their skills, obtain a qualification and improve their employment prospects. It is paid once a year in accordance with section 118AAC of VEA [10].
The taper rate is used to reduce the rate of a person's service pension [16] or income support supplement [16] if they or their partner have any ordinary income [16] in excess of the ordinary/adjusted income free area [16] (IFA). Any income in excess of the IFA will reduce the maximum payment rate by a 'taper rate' of 50 cents in the dollar (or 40 cents for transitional rate of pension). The result is the income reduced rate.
The same taper rate is also used in disability income rent test [16] calculations to determine the amount of rent assistance [16] for service pensioners and income support supplement recipients.
On 1 July 2000 all pensions, allowances and threshold amounts were increased to compensate for the introduction of the GST [16], and the income taper rate was reduced from fifty cents to forty cents in the dollar for income support payments.
Prior to 1 January 2010, the 'not a member of a couple' maximum basic rate [16] [glossary:(:]MBR [16][glossary:):] of service pension was legislated to be at least 25% of Male Total Average Weekly Earnings [16] [glossary:(:]MTAWE [16][glossary:):] at the March and September indexation points. If the 'not a member of a couple' MBR was not at least 25% of MTAWE after indexation against the Consumer Price Index [16] [glossary:(:]CPI [16][glossary:):], it was further increased so that it was 25% of MTAWE. If the 'not a member of a couple' MBR was increased in this manner, the partnered MBR was increased by 83% of the 'not a member of a couple' MTAWE increase. The MTAWE increase was rounded up to the next multiple of $2.60.

On the commencement date of the clean energy supplement, the Consumer Price Index [16] [glossary:(:]CPI [16][glossary:):] indexation factor and (where relevant) the PBLCI indexation factor for the relevant clean energy underlying payment [16] will be reduced by 0.7 per cent. The reduction cannot reduce the indexation factor below 1.000. If the full 0.7 per cent cannot be deducted on commencement of the clean energy supplement, any unused amount will be carried forward to be used at later indexation points until the full 0.7 per cent is used.

Utilities Allowance was rolled into the pension supplement [16] and ceased to be paid on 20 September 2009.
Telephone Allowance was rolled into other payments and ceased to be paid on 20 September 2009. For income support recipients, TA was rolled into the pension supplement [16]. For CSHC [16] and gold card [16] holders (not receiving income support).TA was rolled into the Seniors supplement [16]. Disability pensioners (not receiving income support) receive a veterans supplement [16] instead of TA.
Pharmaceutical Allowance was rolled into other payments and ceased to exist in the VEA [16] and MRCA [16] on 20 September 2009. PA that was paid to income support pensioners was rolled into the pension supplement [16]. For war widows, it was added to a component of the war widow pension. For other payment recipients, PA was replaced with the veterans supplement [16].
One element of the means test [16] for income support pensions whereby the rate of pension payable to a pensioner reduces progressively as their income increases above a certain threshold known as the income free area (IFA) [16].
The pension bonus scheme closed to new entrants on 20 September 2009. Existing members can continue in the scheme under the rules that existed prior to 20 September 2009. The pension bonus scheme provided an incentive for older Australians to remain in the workforce and defer receipt of income support pension [123]. The incentive was a bonus, payable if all eligibility criteria and rules were satisfied.
The pension bonus was a once-only, tax-free lump sum payable to a person who, on reaching their special date of eligibility [124], voluntarily deferred retirement for at least one year and registered as a member of the scheme. The pension bonus was claimed at the same time as claiming pension and is calculated using the annual rate of basic pension payable at grant, multiplied by the bonus periods accrued.
The work bonus exempts the first $300 per fortnight of work bonus income [125] for eligible people over pension age [16] or qualifying age [16].
Seniors Concession Allowance ceased to exist on 20 September 2009. It was combined with telephone allowance [16] and both were replaced by the seniors supplement [16].
