SOCIAL SECURITY ACT 1991 No. 46, 1991 - SECT 959

959. If:

   (a)  a person has a CDA child; and

   (b)  the person's provisional commencement day is within 12 months after
        the day on which the person became qualified for child disability
        allowance; the allowance can become payable before the
        provisional commencement day but cannot become payable to the person
        before the first day in the period on which the person is qualified.
Note 1: for "provisional commencement day" see section 958. Note 2: the child
disability allowance will not necessarily be backdated to the day on which the
person becomes qualified - some other factor may make the allowance
not payable at the time.
