(b) the person qualifies under section 9 as a partner of a farmer, and also later qualifies under that section as a result of being the partner of a different farmer.

 (a) the person qualifies for the allowance on the day; and
 (b) no provision of this or any other Act applies resulting in the allowance not being payable to the person for the day.
