7.1.8    Discretion in special circumstances
1.  A member is eligible for a benefit under this Chapter if the CDF is satisfied of all the following.
    a.                                                                                                           The member does not meet the eligibility criteria to receive the benefit.
    b.                                                                                                           The reason the member does not meet the eligibility criteria is beyond their control.
    c.                                                                                                           It is reasonable in the circumstances to provide the member the benefit.
    d.                                                                                                           Providing the benefit is consistent with the purpose of the benefit.
2.  The benefit under subsection 1 must not exceed what an eligible member would receive for the same benefit.
