 (c) the compensation payment reduction (see section 44‑20).

44‑18  The extra service reduction
 (1) The extra service reduction for the care recipient in respect of the *payment period is the sum of all the extra service reductions for days during the period on which:
 (a) the care recipient was provided with residential care through the residential care service in question; and
 (b) the care is provided in respect of a place that is an *extra service place (see Division 31 of the Aged Care Act 1997), or the care is required, under a condition of a kind specified in paragraph 32‑8(3)(b) of the Aged Care Act 1997, to be provided on an extra service basis.

 (3) The compensation payment reduction for a particular day is an amount equal to the amount of *residential care subsidy that would be payable for the care recipient in respect of the *payment period if:
 (a) the care recipient was provided with residential care on that day only; and
 (b) this section and Subdivision 44‑F did not apply.
