SRDP

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.

When actioning a Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) requested clearance, incapacity delegates must also include a request for a super clearance where there is interest from the Special Rate of Disability Pension (SRDP) team.

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

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.
