Other Entitlements

When assessing eligibility for the LOE Allowance consideration should be given to other entitlements, particularly the temporary special rate (TSR) pension (known as the Totally and Temporarily Incapacitated (TTI) pension). New guidelines on the assessment of special rate (T&PI) were updated 19 March 2013 and are now available in CLIK. These guidelines reflect the Commission policy adopted following the decision Repatriation Commission v Connell [2011] FCAFC 116 (Connell). For more information, see CM6882 – Special Rate and Intermediate Rate of Pension.

A veteran or member may also be entitled to incapacity payments for conditions accepted under the SRCA or MRCA.
