45UY  Modification of provisions of this Part in respect of persons to whom this Division applies
 (1) For the purposes of working out the amount of the pension bonus payable under this Part to a person to whom this Division applies and subject to subsection (2), if the Commission determines, under section 45UX, that a period would have accrued to the person as a bonus period under the social security law, then:
 (a) that bonus period is to be treated as if it were a bonus period that had accrued to the person under this Act; and
 (b) that bonus period, or if more than one, the last such bonus period, is to be treated as if it were continuous with the first bonus period (if any) that accrues to the person under this Act after the person becomes a war widow/war widower—pensioner.
 (2) Subsection (1) applies in relation to a part‑year period that the Commission determines is a bonus period that would have accrued, under the social security law, to a person to whom this Division applies only if:
 (a) that bonus period is immediately preceded by a period that the Commission determines would have been another bonus period accruing to the person under that law; or
 (b) that bonus period, when aggregated with any bonus period or bonus periods accruing to the person under this Act after the person becomes a war widow/war widower—pensioner, would amount to at least one year.
 (3) If:
 (a) a person to whom this Division applies has a part‑year period of accruing membership of the pension bonus scheme under this Act; and
 (b) the part‑year period does not begin immediately after a bonus period accruing to that person under this Act;
then, for the purposes of applying subsection 45TR(3) of this Act in determining whether that part‑year period is a bonus period under this Act, the Commission may treat that part‑year period as if it were immediately preceded by a bonus period accruing to that person under this Act.
