    Step 3.

    Work out the rate that would be the individual ' s income and maintenance tested rate under step 3 of the method statement in clause 3 if the individual ' s Part A rate were to be calculated using Part 2 (but disregarding clause 24G ): the result is the individual ' s Method 2 income and maintenance tested rate .

    Note:

    Clause 25D modifies the application of this step.


    Step 4.

    The individual ' s Part A rate is:

  • (a) the individual ' s provisional Part A rate if it is equal to or greater than the individual ' s Method 2 income and maintenance tested rate; or
  • (b) the individual ' s Method 2 income and maintenance tested rate if it is greater than the individual ' s provisional Part A rate.
