Calculating the asset value
Defined Benefit Income Streams and Military Invalidity Pensions Income Streams are not included in a person's assessable assets.
Income test assessment
This table shows how to calculate the assessable income from the income stream.
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Any income paid between the operative time and the date of the first splittable payment is an exempt lump sum. Any amount paid out of the first splittable payment is also an exempt lump sum. Any income stream payments after the first splittable payment are assessable income. |
| 2 | All required information for the primary and secondary Family Law Affect (FLA) income streams is calculated by the income stream provider. |
Other types of income streams
