When actioning a Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) requested clearance arrears or reclassification, the Special Rate of Disability Pension (SRDP) team must advise the assigned incapacity team where there is SRDP interest and if a request for super clearance is required.

Procedural, Planning and Assurance will screen incoming CSC requests and identify in VIEW where SRDP involvement exists. This includes current or prior eligibility and outstanding SRDP cases.

If a client lodges a claim for SRDP or it is determined to be eligible at any point in the claim process, a case will need to be created so that the decision can be recorded. This is for situations where the SRDP eligibility assessment does not occur at the same time as determining a PI or incapacity claim.

Generally when the person is first put into incapacity payments a single period of incapacity will be created in CADET.  No further periods of incapacity are registered.

An SRDP assessment can be initiated by a client or a delegate.

Refer to the attached task card [1] (CM9 20801073E) created by the SRDP team that outlines the current registration procedure in CADET.

A claim for SRDP cannot be accepted after the death of a veteran. A SRDP claim is not required after death in order to pay compensation for dependents.

Liability cannot be accepted for SRDP after a veterans death because at least one of the eligibility criteria can not be met at the point in time the claim is being determined i.e. 199(1)(a) regarding incapacity payments.  Section 199 operates prospectively only.
