 (1) A Parenting Payment Activity Agreement between the Secretary and a person must not require the person to participate in an approved program of work for income support payment if:
 (a) either:

 (ii) if the person's rate of parenting payment is worked out under the Benefit PP (Partnered) Rate Calculator in section 1068B—because of the application of Module D of that rate calculator, the person is receiving a parenting payment at a rate that has been reduced; or
 (b) in the Secretary's opinion:
 (i) it has been established that there is medical evidence that the person has an illness, disability or injury that would be aggravated by the conditions in which the work would be performed; or
