Section 22 of the SRC Act provides that weekly compensation for incapacity may be paid at a reduced rate where:
- a client is receiving compensation under s 19 (but nor ss 20, 21 or 21A);
- as a result of an injury, the client is maintained as a patient in a hospital, nursing home or similar place for a continuous period of not less than one year; and
- there are no prescribed persons or prescribed children who are dependent on the client.
Before s 22(1) applies, a client must have been:
- maintained as a patient;
- in a hospital, nursing home or similar place;
- as a result of an injury;
- for a continuous period of not less than one year.
