Examples 1 and 2 in this topic show how payment is calculated for the bereavement rate continuation period when a PP recipient's partner (1.1.P.70) dies. The amounts shown in the examples would be added to any lump sum payable in respect of the bereavement lump sum period.
Example 3 in this topic shows how payment is calculated for the bereavement lump sum period when a PP recipient's partner dies. It is presumed that both the PP recipient and their partner have been in receipt of payment for more than 21 months.
Example 1: A PP recipient's partner died on 7 April, and the death was actioned immediately from the next EPED. The deceased's was in receipt of NSA and this was cancelled from the date of death.
The LBP is calculated in the following table.
|
EPEDs |
Combined married rate |
New single rate |

7 |
$587.60 |
$361.40 |
|
Result: $1,583.40. | ||
Example 2: A PP recipient's partner died on 7 April, and the death was advised on 29 April with the EPEDs for both members of the couple falling on 15 and 29 April. The partner had been in receipt of SA. At the time of advice of death the payment of the survivor for 29 April was able to be stopped however the payment of SA had already been processed and therefore proceeded. The PP recipient moves from the partnered allowance rate to the single pension rate following the actioning of the death.
The LBP is calculated in the following table.

Initial result: $1,357.20. minus [$587.60 / 2] | ||
