10  Certain claims for family benefit will be admitted on or after 1 July 2000

(1) In this item:
backdated claim period means a period after the occurrence of a particular event during which a claim for family benefit with effect from that event will be allowed.

(2) If:
 (a) a person did not make a claim for family benefit before 1 July 2000; and
 (b) but for the amendment of the social security law with effect from 1 July 2000, if the person had made such a claim after that date, the backdated claim period would have extended back to the occurrence of a particular event before that date;
then:
 (c) the person may make such a claim on or after 1 July 2000 as if those amendments had not been made; and
 (d) the claim can be dealt with in so far as the backdated claim period would permit a claim in respect of a period before 1 July 2000.
