1.1.I.20 Income test
Definition
A person satisfies the income test for PLP on a day if:
- the person's individual ATI for the reference income year (1.1.R.10) is not more than the relevant individual PPL income limit (1.1.R.35)
- the person does not have a partner at the time of claim, and their ATI for the reference income year is not more than the relevant family PPL income limit (1.1.R.30), or
- the person does have a partner at the time of claim, and the sum of their ATI and their partner’s ATI for the reference income year is not more than the relevant family PPL income limit.
Claimants who do not satisfy one of the above are not eligible for PLP.
Note: The individual PPL income limit (1.1.I.55) and the family PPL income limit (1.1.F.10) are subject to indexation on 1 July each year.
