In this example there is no change to entitlement during the fortnight:

• $1249.65 for Disability Support Pension, Pharmaceutical Allowance and Rent Assistance
• $20.80 - Language, Literacy and Numeracy Supplement (LLNS)
  LLNS is not paid weekly. It is paid on a customer's EPED

Gross rate for the fortnight = $1270.45

Deductions and withholdings of $200:

• Debt withholdings $20
• Child Support Deduction $20
• Rent Deduction Scheme $130
• Centrepay - electricity $10
• Centrepay - phone $20

Net rate for fortnight:

= Gross rate - deductions - add-ons that cannot be paid weekly

= $1270.45 - $200 - $20.80

= $1049.65

Adjusted net rate of all add-ons that can be paid weekly

= $1049.65

Week 1 payment:

= half of Adjusted Net + add-ons that cannot be paid weekly

= (0.5 x $1049.65) + 20.80

= $545.63.

This pays 14 days after the previous EPED.

Week 2 payment:

= half of Adjusted Net

= 0.5 x $545.63

= $272.82

This pays 7 days after the Week 1 payment.

On second day after the original EPED, the customer asks to change their EPED to Day 3. The instalment period shortens to 3 days.

The customer's actual payment for the period should have been:

= $224.38
