3  Application of amendments
(1) Section 1067A of the Social Security Act 1991, as amended by this Act, applies on and after the commencement of this item in relation to working out the rate of a person's disability support pension in respect of days occurring before, on or after that commencement.
(2) However, section 1067A of the Social Security Act 1991, as in force immediately before that commencement, continues to apply on and after that commencement in relation to working out the rate of a person's disability support pension in respect of a day occurring before that commencement if:
 (a) a determination of that rate, made under the social security law before that commencement, was in effect on that day; and
 (b) the determination was made on the basis that the person was independent for the purposes of working out that rate for that day.
(3) Except to the extent provided by subitems (1) and (2), section 1067A of the Social Security Act 1991, as amended by this Act, applies on and after the commencement of this item in relation to the doing of a thing under a law of the Commonwealth that requires the working out of the maximum basic rate of disability support pension:
 (a) that is or would be payable to a person on or after that commencement; or
 (b) that was or would have been payable to a person before that commencement.
(4) To avoid doubt, subitems (1) to (3) have effect:
 (a) whether the person's claim for disability support pension is made or granted before, on or after the commencement of this item; and
 (b) even if the working out is done in connection with the review of a decision (including, without limitation, review under section 126 or 129 of the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999 or review by the ART).
