Issue
Member has received a Permanent Incapacity Lump Sum Payment, how do I process it in Class?
Background
If a person receives a lump sum payment in his/her accumulation account, due to the person is being permanently incapacitated, the type of superannuation withdrawal is referred to as disability superannuation benefit.
The tax-free component of the benefit will be increased for the future service benefit, broadly reflecting the period where the person would have been expected to have been gainfully employed.
You are required to work out and adjust the modified tax-free component for the lump sum payment in Class manually.
