SUBSIDY (GRAIN HARVESTERS AND EQUIPMENT) ACT 1985 No. 183, 1985 - SECT 19

19. (1) Where a person who has lodged a claim under section 18 (whether or not
the claim has been dealt with under sub-section 18 (3)) considers that the
claim was, because of an inadvertent error, a claim for an amount of subsidy
in respect of subsidised equipment that was less than the amount of subsidy
that the person was entitled to claim in respect of that equipment, the person
may lodge a claim for payment to the person of the difference between the 2
amounts.

(2) A claim under sub-section (1) in respect of subsidised equipment shall -

   (a)  be in accordance with the appropriate approved form;

   (b)  include such information as is, and such estimates as are, required by
        the form;

   (c)  be signed and witnessed as required by the form; and

   (d)  be lodged with a Collector for a State or Territory, or with the
        Comptroller, within 12 months after the day on which the condition
        referred to in sub-section 10 (4) or (6) or 11 (3) or (5), as the case
        requires, was complied with in respect of the subsidised equipment.

(3) Where a claim under sub-section (1) relates to a claim under section 18
that has not been dealt with under sub-section 18 (3), the 2 claims shall be
dealt with under sub-section 18 (3) as if they were one claim under section
18.

(4) As soon as practicable after the lodgment of a claim under sub-section (1)
to which sub-section (3) does not apply, the Comptroller shall, after
examining the claim and causing such inquiries as the Comptroller considers
necessary to be made (including inquiries involving the exercise of powers
under sections 27 and 28) -

   (a)  if the Comptroller is satisfied that the claim complies with
        sub-section (2) and that the claimant is, or, if certain estimates are
        correct, is, otherwise entitled to be paid an additional amount of
        subsidy in respect of subsidised equipment to which the claim relates
        - approve, in writing, payment of the additional amount; or

   (b)  if the Comptroller is not so satisfied - refuse, in writing, to
        approve payment of an additional amount of subsidy in respect of the
        equipment to which the claim relates.

(5) Where the Comptroller makes a decision under sub-section (4) in relation
to a claim approving, or refusing to approve, payment of an additional amount
of subsidy, not being a decision made within 30 days after the lodging of the
claim and approving payment of the additional amount claimed, the Comptroller
shall cause to be served on the person who lodged the claim a notice in
writing setting out the decision.
