           Step 5. Work out the amount per year (if any) payable by way of remote area allowance using MODULE G below.

                (a) the maximum payment rate; and
                (b) any amount obtained under Step 5.

            The result is called the non‑income/assets tested rate.
           Step 7. Compare the notional income/assets tested rate and the non‑income/assets tested rate: whichever is the greater is the person's rate of service pension.
                  Note 1: The amount of a fortnightly instalment of service pension will be rounded to the nearest cent (see subsection 58A(5)).
                  Note 2: For the minimum amount of a fortnightly instalment of service pension, see subsection 58A(9).
                  Note 3: The amount of a fortnightly instalment of service pension may be reduced by an advance payment deduction (see Division 6 of Part IVA).

      Method statement 3
           Step 1. Work out what would be the person's rate of service pension if Method statement 1, except step 1B of that method statement, applied to the person: the result is called the provisional rate.
           Step 2. Work out the person's ceiling rate in accordance with points SCH6‑A4 to SCH6‑A9.
           Step 2A. Work out the amount per year (if any) for rent assistance using MODULE C below.
           Step 4. Work out the amount per year (if any) payable by way of remote area allowance using MODULE G below.
           Step 5. Add:

                (a) the ceiling rate; and
                (b) any amount obtained under step 2A; and
                (c) any amount obtained under step 4;

            and, if an election by the person under subsection 60A(1) (about quarterly pension supplement) is in force, subtract the person's minimum pension supplement amount. The result is the revised rate.
           Step 6. Compare the provisional rate and the revised rate: the person's rate of service pension is:

                (a) the provisional rate if it is lower than the revised rate; or
                (b) the revised rate if it is lower than or equal to the provisional rate.

                  Note: The amount of a fortnightly instalment of service pension may be reduced by an advance payment deduction (see Division 6 of Part IVA).
