  The minimum professional questionnaire score that must be achieved if an individual is to qualify for payments is as follows:
        (a)    a professional questionnaire score of 8 for carer payment under subparagraph 197D(1)(a)(i) of the Act;
        (b)    a professional questionnaire score of 10 for carer payment under subparagraph 198(2)(a)(i) of the Act;
        (c)    a professional questionnaire score of 32 where an individual care recipient is qualified to have more than one carer for carer payment under subparagraph 198(2)(a)(ii) of the Act;
        (d)    a professional questionnaire score of 8 for carer payment where the care is provided to an adult and that adult's dependent child under subparagraph 198(2)(d)(i) of the Act;
        (e)    a professional questionnaire score of 12 for carer allowance (adult) under paragraph 954(1)(c) of the Act;
        (f)     a professional questionnaire score of 12 for carer allowance under paragraph 954A(1)(c) of the Act.

      Note: Satisfying the minimum professional questionnaire score does not automatically qualify a person for the relevant payment. Both the minimum professional questionnaire score and the minimum total final score must be satisfied to qualify for the relevant payment.
