109  Transfer of old VEA prisoner of war recognition supplement recipients to MRCA
 (1) This section applies in relation to a person if, immediately before the date of commencement, prisoner of war recognition supplement under Part VIB of the old VEA is being paid to the person.

Continued application of old VEA to fortnights before transfer fortnight
 (2) Despite the amendments of the old VEA made by Division 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Simplification Act, the old VEA continues to apply, in relation to an amount of prisoner of war recognition supplement payable to the person under Part VIB of that Act for a fortnight that ends before the transfer fortnight, as if those amendments had not been made.

Application of MRCA to transfer fortnight and later fortnights
 (3) For the transfer fortnight and each later fortnight, Part 3 of Chapter 5AA of the MRCA has effect in relation to the person as if section 268AO were omitted.
Note: Subsection (3) means that the person is eligible for prisoner of war supplement under Part 3 of Chapter 5AA of the MRCA without the person needing to make a claim for compensation under section 319 of the MRCA.

Meaning of transfer fortnight
 (4) In this section:
transfer fortnight means the fortnight that starts immediately after the end of the last pension period (within the meaning of the VEA) that ends before the date of commencement.
