the pension bonus scheme throughout each test period that is applicable to the person, the person would have passed the work test for each test period.
Note: Test period is defined by subsection (10).
 (10) For the purposes of subsection (9), to work out what is a test period:
 (a) identify the extended period, which is that part of the nominated period when the person was neither:
 (i) subject to a carer preclusion period; nor
 (ii) covered by a declaration under section 45TO;
 (b) if the extended period is 365 days or less—the extended period is the only test period;
 (c) if the extended period is longer than 365 days—each of the following periods is a test period:
 (i) the full‑year period beginning at the start of the extended period;
 (ii) if 2 or more succeeding full‑year periods are included in the extended period—each of those full‑year periods;
 (iii) the remainder (if any) of the extended period.
 (11) In addition to its effect apart from this subsection, section 45U (evidentiary certificates) also has the effect it would have if each reference in paragraph 45U(1)(a), (2)(a), (3)(a) or (4)(a) to an accruing member of the pension bonus scheme were a reference to a post‑70/75 member of the scheme.
  Last bonus period
 (12) For the purposes of this section, if a person has accrued only one full year bonus period, that period is the person's last bonus period.
