This Part provides a choice for severely impaired people (at least 50 impairment points) who are unable to work more than 10 hours per week to receive a pension under this Part   instead of compensation worked out under Division   2 of Part   4.

The rate of the pension is the same as the rate applicable under section   24 of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 . However, the rate may be reduced for a recipient who receives an amount under Part   2 (permanent impairment) or who receives or has received a benefit under a Commonwealth superannuation scheme.

A person who works more than 10 hours per week stops receiving the Special Rate Disability Pension. However, the person might still be eligible for assistance under the Return to Work Scheme determined by the Commission under section   210, or compensation worked out under Division   2 of Part   4.
