 (1) This section applies if:
 (a) carer payment is payable to a person who has ordinarily been providing constant care for a care receiver or care receivers; and
 (b) the person ceases to be qualified for the payment because he or she ceases to provide constant care for the care receiver or any of the care receivers as a result of the care receiver being admitted permanently to an institution where care is provided for the care receiver.
