commencing on the day the entitled member left the home for treatment.

     (3) the service is identical to either Domestic Assistance or Home and Garden Maintenance (or both) that the relevant entitled member was receiving at or about the time of his or her death or at or about the time of his or her departure from the home for treatment, as the case may be.

     (4) the service is provided on the same terms, including any liability to make a co payment, that the Domestic Assistance or Home and Garden Maintenance (or both) was provided to the relevant entitled member at or about the time of his or her death or at or about the time of his or her departure from the home for treatment, as the case may be.

     (5) the eligible person resided in the home of the relevant entitled member at the time of the death of the relevant entitled member or at the time the relevant entitled member departed from the home for treatment, as the case may be.

     (6) in order for an eligible person referred to in paragraph 7.3A.20 (d) to be provided with a service, the eligible person must have been the full‑time carer of the entitled member immediately prior to the death of the member at or about the time the service is required.

7.3A.22 For the purposes of paragraph 7.3A.21, a particular entitled member is a "relevant entitled member" in relation to a particular eligible person, where the eligible person was residing with that member at the time of the death of the member or at the time of the departure of the member from the home for treatment, and the eligible person is relying on that fact as constituting an element necessary to establish the basis for the person's entitlement to a service.

Note (1): the intention is to ensure that the conditions for providing a service to an eligible person are related to that person's particular circumstances.  For example, a former eligible young person who resided with an entitled member before his/her death is only entitled to the domestic‑type assistance that member was receiving and is not entitled to the domestic‑type assistance some other entitled member was receiving.

Similarly, a former eligible young person is not entitled to Home and Garden‑type maintenance if the relevant entitled member had not been receiving Home and Garden Maintenance.  The entitlement of the eligible person is to reflect the entitlement of the primary beneficiary ie the entitled member.
