     Note 1: the item 1 rate is adjusted annually (see section 59f) so that the combined family allowance and additional pension amounts for children covered by this item do not fall below 15% or the combined pensioner couple maximum basic rate.
     Note 2: the item 2 rate is adjusted annually (see section 59f) so that the combined family allowance and additional pension amounts for children covered by this item do not fall below 20% of the combined pensioner couple maximum basic rate.
 Note 3: the item 3 rate is not indexed.
     Note 4: there may be situations where 2 veterans who are not members of the same couple are entitled to a dependent child add-on for the same child. For example, a child may be substantially dependent on a veteran with whom the child is living (the child's mother) and also substantially dependent on another veteran (the child's father) who is no longer the mother's partner and is contributing substantially to the maintenance of the child. If the child is substantially dependent on each veteran, both veterans are entitled to dependent child add-on for the child.".
