Part 2   Clean energy supplements and quarterly clean energy supplement

Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986

34   At the end of clause 4 of Schedule 6

Add:

Quarterly clean energy supplement for service pension

(5) If:

(a) the rate (the main rate ) of a person's service pension is to be reduced as described in subclause (1) (applying of its own force or as affected by subclause (2)); and

(b) an election by the person under subsection 60A(1) is in force;

the person's quarterly clean energy supplement is reduced to the same extent (if any) that the component of the main rate that would correspond to the person's clean energy supplement would be reduced under subclause (1) were the election not in force.

Note: The reduction will be disregarded unless the person's quarterly clean energy supplement is reduced to nil (see subsection 62E(6)).
