person's social security pension, service pension, income support supplement or veteran payment was paid; and
 (c) the person becomes qualified for a special benefit at some time during the 14 day period but after the first day of that period;
the person is taken to be qualified for a special benefit for the whole of the 14 day period.
Note: Subsection (6) operates when a person transfers from a social security pension, a service pension, income support supplement or a veteran payment to a special benefit and the person is not qualified for a special benefit immediately after the day on which the person's last instalment of social security pension, service pension, income support supplement or veteran payment is paid. The subsection deems the person to be so qualified. As a result, the person may be paid a special benefit for the period beginning on the day after the day on which the person's last instalment of social security pension, service pension, income support supplement or veteran payment was paid. The subsection aims to ensure that there is minimal disruption to a person's payments when a person transfers from a social security pension, a service pension, income support supplement or a veteran payment to a special benefit.
