   (b)  by inserting before point 1068-G9 the following point: Payment of
        arrears of periodic compensation payments

"1068-G8A. If:

   (a)  at the time of an event that gives rise to an entitlement of a person
        to compensation, the person is receiving job search allowance,
        newstart allowance or sickness allowance; and

   (b)  in relation to that entitlement, the person receives a payment of
        arrears of periodic compensation; the person is taken to receive in a
        fortnight falling within, or overlapping with, the periodic payments
        period, an amount calculated by:

   (c)  dividing the amount received by the number of days in the periodic
        payments period (the result is called the 'daily rate'); and

   (d)  multiplying the daily rate by the number of days in the fortnight that
        are also within the periodic payments period. Note: for 'periodic
        payments period' see section 17.".
