Step 1.  Work out (taking section 45ZE into account) the amount that, if neither the person nor the person's partner had died, would have been payable to the person on the pension payday immediately after the day on which the person died.
Step 2.  Work out the amount that, if neither the person nor the person's partner had died, would have been payable to the person's partner on that pension payday.
Step 3.  Add up the amounts obtained in Steps 1 and 2: the result is called the combined pensioner couple rate.
Step 4.  Work out (taking section 45ZE into account) the amount that, but for section 45ZC, would have been payable to the person on the pension payday immediately after the day on which the person died if the person had not died: the result is called the person's individual rate.
Step 5.  Take the person's individual rate away from the combined pensioner couple rate: the result is called the partner's instalment component.
Step 6.  Work out the number of pension paydays in the period that commences on the day after the person dies and ends on the day on which the bereavement period ends.
Step 7.  Multiply the partner's instalment component by the number obtained in Step 6: the result is the amount of the lump sum payable under this section.
