2  Validation—disability support pension rate for people with partial capacity to work
(1) This item applies if:
 (a) a thing was done, or purportedly done, under a law of the Commonwealth before the commencement of this item; and
 (b) the thing was done, or purportedly done, on the basis that a person was not independent for the purposes of working out:
 (i) the maximum basic rate of disability support pension that was or would be payable to the person; or
 (ii) whether the person qualified for rent assistance because the person complied with subsection 1070F(2) of the Social Security Act 1991; or
 (iii) the rate of rent assistance payable to the person under section 1070N of that Act; and
 (c) the thing done, or purportedly done, would, apart from this item, be wholly or partly invalid or ineffective only because the person was in fact independent for the purposes of working out the matter mentioned in subparagraph (b)(i), (ii) or (iii) of this subitem; and
 (d) the person was independent for that purpose only because of subsection 1067A(12) of that Act.
(2) The thing done, or purportedly done, is taken for all purposes to be valid and effective, and to have always been valid and effective.
(3) To avoid doubt, anything else done or purportedly done before the commencement of this item that would, apart from subitem (2), be wholly or partly invalid or ineffective is taken for all purposes to be, and to have always been, valid and effective.
(4) To avoid doubt, subitems (2) and (3) apply despite any effect they may have on the accrued rights of any person.
