89  Subsection 236A(1)
Repeal the subsection, substitute:

 (1) A lump sum is payable to a person under this section if:
 (a) the person remains qualified for carer payment because subsection 235(1) or (1A) applies; and
 (b) immediately before the death of the person mentioned in that subsection, the person who died was not a member of a couple, or was a member of a couple and his or her partner:
 (i) was not receiving a social security pension; and
 (ii) was not receiving a social security benefit; and
 (iii) was not receiving a service pension or income support supplement.

Note: If the partner of the person who died was receiving a social security pension or benefit or a service pension, the partner would receive bereavement payments in respect of the death of the person.

 (1A) However, if subsection (1) would apply where 2 or more persons die at the same time, only one payment is payable under that subsection.
