 (a) a person receives 2 or more lump sum payments in relation to the same event that gave rise to the entitlement of the person to compensation (the multiple payments); and
 (b) at least one of the multiple payments is made wholly or partly in respect of lost earnings or lost capacity to earn;
the following paragraphs have effect for the purposes of this Act:
 (c) the person is taken to have received one lump sum compensation payment (the single payment) of an amount equal to the sum of the multiple payments;
 (d) the single payment is taken to have been received by the person:
 (i) on the day on which he or she received the last of the multiple payments; or
 (ii) if the multiple payments were all received on the same day—on that day.

 (2) A payment is not a lump sum payment for the purposes of paragraph (1)(a) if it relates exclusively to arrears of periodic compensation.
