16  Offsetting amounts of Commonwealth superannuation under the MRCA
 (1) This section applies if:
 (a) item 7 of the table in subsection 15(1) stops a person from being entitled to compensation under section 20, 21 or 21A of the DRCA (compensation for incapacity if superannuation is paid); and
 (b) apart from this section, the person would be entitled to compensation of an amount:
 (i) that is worked out under Subdivision C of Division 2 of Part 4 of Chapter 4 of the MRCA (compensation for incapacity if no superannuation is paid); or
 (ii) that would be worked out under that Subdivision if the person had not chosen to receive a Special Rate Disability Pension.
 (2) The superannuation scheme (within the meaning of the DRCA) is taken to be a Commonwealth superannuation scheme (within the meaning of the MRCA) for the purposes of the MRCA.
Note: This means that amounts of superannuation that are being offset under the DRCA are offset under the MRCA.
 (3) For the purposes of the MRCA, the amounts mentioned in column 1 of the table are taken to be the same as the amounts under the DRCA mentioned in column 2.
