                            (a) the qualifying instalment is of carer allowance;
                            (b) the qualified person was or is also paid an instalment of partner service pension under the Veterans' Entitlements Act in respect of a period that includes the day described in subsection (1) for the year

Amount for eligible care receiver
 (3) The amount for an eligible care receiver is:
 (a) $600; or
 (b) if the rate at which the qualifying instalment was paid takes account of a determination under subsection 981(1) of a particular share (being a percentage or proportion) in relation to the eligible care receiver—that share of $600.
Example 1: Assume that:
(a) the qualified person qualifies for carer supplement for 2010 because he or she is paid a qualifying instalment of carer allowance relating to 3 eligible care receivers; and
(b) the rate of the qualifying instalment takes account of a determination under subsection 981(1) of a half share in relation to one of those eligible care receivers; and
(c) the qualified person is also paid an instalment of partner service pension for a period including 1 July 2010.
 The amount of carer supplement for the qualified person for 2010 is $2,100, made up of $600 each for 2 of the eligible care receivers, $300 (which is half of $600) for the eligible care receiver to whom the half‑share determination relates and $600 relating to the partner service pension.
Example 2: Assume that the qualified person qualifies for carer supplement for 2011 because he or she is paid a qualifying instalment of carer allowance relating to one eligible care receiver and also because the qualifying person is paid a qualifying instalment of carer payment.
 The amount of carer supplement for the qualified person for 2011 is $1,200, made up of $600 relating to carer allowance relating to the eligible care receiver and $600 relating to carer payment.

Definition of eligible care receiver
 (4) Each person to whose care a qualifying instalment of carer allowance relates is an eligible care receiver in relation to the qualified person.
 (5) However, if subsection 953(2) applies in relation to a qualifying instalment, the 2 disabled children to whom the instalment relates are to be treated as if they were a single eligible care receiver in relation to the qualified person.

Definition of carer service pension
 (6) In this section:
carer service pension means carer service pension that is payable because of subclause 8(2) or (4) of Schedule 5 to the Veterans' Entitlements Act.
