           Step 4. Work out what would have been the daily provisional payment rate (the notional rate) for the primary payment on that day if the 2 assumptions referred to in step 2 of method statement 1 in subsection (1) were made.
           Step 5. Work out the amount by which Part 3.14 of the Social Security Act would have reduced the notional rate on that day if that rate had been the daily primary payment rate.
           Step 6. Subtract the amount in step 5 from the rate in step 4.

Definitions
 (4) In this section:
daily provisional payment rate means the provisional payment rate, provisional annual payment rate or provisional fortnightly payment rate referred to in the Rate Calculator used under the Social Security Act to work out the rate of the primary payment, converted to a daily rate by dividing the rate by 364 (for a provisional annual payment rate) or 14 (for a provisional fortnightly payment rate).
rent assistance has the same meaning as in the Social Security Act.
rent reduction amount is the amount that would be a person's income reduction under the Social Security Act if that income reduction were worked out by applying the same income test or ordinary income test that was used under that Act in calculating the person's primary payment, but applying that test on the basis that the adjusted disability pension payable to the person, or the person's partner, were the person's only ordinary income for the purposes of that Act.
