 (b) a reference to the day the child was born were a reference to the day the claimant became the child's primary carer; and
 (c) a reference to the expected date of birth of the child were a reference to the day the claimant expects to become the child's primary carer; and
 (d) a reference to a child's first birthday were a reference to the first anniversary of the day the claimant became the child's primary carer; and
 (da) a reference to a child's second birthday were a reference to the second anniversary of the day the claimant became the child's primary carer; and
 (e) a reference to a completed birth verification form for a child were a reference to information required by the Secretary about the claimant becoming the child's primary carer; and
 (f) a reference to a child being born during the same multiple birth were a reference to the claimant becoming the primary carer of the child at the same time as becoming the primary carer of another child.
