Member's Guide to ADF Pay and Conditions in
8.7 Dual
entitlement
If you and your adult
dependant are both members of the ADF, there may be times when you can both
claim a condition. For some allowances, only one member can be paid the
condition.
Who can be paid?
For many conditions, the two
of you can jointly decide which one of you will get the condition. You should
consider the effect this will have on your financial obligations. For example,
it may affect child support payments. You may wish to check with a financial
adviser before you choose.
If you do not make a choice,
the condition will go to the member with the higher rank. If you are both the
same rank it will go to the more senior member in the rank.
