7  Crisis payment not payable in addition to disaster relief payment
 (1) A crisis payment is not payable to a person for an extreme circumstance if the person is eligible for a disaster relief payment (however described) for the extreme circumstance.
 (2) However, this regulation does not affect a person's entitlement to a crisis payment for an extreme circumstance if:
 (a) the person has claimed the crisis payment; and
 (b) the person subsequently qualifies for an Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment or other disaster relief payment for the same extreme circumstance.
Note 1: An Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment is payable under Part 2.24 of the Social Security Act 1991.
Note 2: There is another limitation on crisis payments in section 106 of the Act (which authorises the Commission to grant special assistance, such as crisis payments). It provides that special assistance is not payable in circumstances in which a person is also eligible for assistance under another provision of the Act.
