to Step 10.
Step 10.  This Step applies only to a person whose pension under Part II or IV is compensation reduced. Add the amount of the reduction in the person's pension (see Step 9) to the person's ceiling rate (see Step 8): the result is called the adjusted ceiling rate.
Step 11.  This Step applies only to a person whose pension under Part II or IV is compensation reduced.
          Work out the person's provisional rate as follows: compare the adjusted income reduced rate (see Step 5), the assets reduced rate (see Step 7) and the adjusted ceiling rate (see Step 10); the person's provisional rate is equal to:
              (a) whichever is the least of those rates; or
              (b) if 2 of those rates are the same and the third one is higher—the lower rate: or
              (c) if the 3 rates are the same—those rates.
          Go now to Step 13.
Step 12.  This Step applies only to a person whose pension under Part II or IV is not compensation reduced.
          Work out the person's provisional rate as follows: compare the adjusted income reduced rate, the assets reduced rate and the ceiling rate; the person's provisional rate is equal to:
              (a) whichever is the least of those rates; or
              (b) if 2 of those rates are the same and the third one is higher—the lower rate; or
              (c) if the 3 rates are the same—those rates.

Step 13.  Work out the amount per year (if any) payable by way of remote area allowance using MODULE G below.
Step 14.  Add the amount obtained in Step 13 to the person's provisional rate (see Step 11 or 12): the result is the rate of income support supplement.

    Note 1: For 'adjusted income' see section 5H.
    Note 2: If a person's assets reduced rate is less than the person's adjusted income reduced rate, the person may be able to take advantage of provisions dealing with:
  • financial hardship (sections 52Y and 52Z);
  • pension loans scheme (sections 52ZA to 52ZM).
    Note 3: If a person's rate is reduced under Step 11 or 12, the order in which the reduction is to be made against the components of the maximum payment rate is laid down by section 45V (maximum basic rate first, then rent assistance).
    Note 4: The rate calculation for a member of a couple is affected by the operation of point 45X-A2.
    Note 5: The amount of a fortnightly instalment of income support supplement will be rounded off to the nearest multiple of 10 cents (see subsections 58A(2) and (3)).
    Note 6: For the minimum amount of a fortnightly instalment of income support supplement see subsection 58A(4).
