210 Return to work scheme
(1) The Commission may determine, in writing, a scheme, called the Return to Work Scheme, under which the Commonwealth is liable to pay compensation of a kind mentioned in subsection (2) to a person in circumstances identified in the Return to Work Scheme if:
(i) was receiving a Special Rate Disability Pension; and
(ii) becomes able to undertake remunerative work for more than 10 hours per week; and
Note: The person would no longer be entitled to Special Rate Disability Pension because of paragraph 209(b).
(2) The compensation is a weekly payment of an amount:
(a) worked out under the Return to Work Scheme; and
(b) worked out, at least in part, by reference to the number of hours per week of remunerative work that the person is able to undertake.
(3) The Commission may, from time to time, repeal or amend the Return to Work Scheme in writing.
