Child Disability Payment decision making guide

Value of Short-term Assistance

The value of STA payable is the difference between (CDP regs, Schedule 1, para 2(1)):

  • the value of assistance paid under the earlier determination
  • and the value paid under the new determination.

Please note the care and mobility rates used in the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and may not be accurate at the time of reading.

STA is only payable where the total value of the new determination payment is lower than the total value of the earlier determination payment.
