Section 187 provides that when a category of defence work on which a person's NE are based is abolished, the delegate may determine which of the current categories should be used to determine NE.

 

Similarly, when an allowance ceases to exist before the cessation date that had been advised by Defence, the delegate must determine which of the current allowances (if any) the person would have been paid instead and use this in determining NE.  The same cessation date is used.
