43B Effect on payment period of loss of entitlement to weekly
(1) This section applies if a worker would be entitled to weekly
compensation under section 39 (Entitlement to weekly compensation
for first 26 weeks of incapacity) or section 40 (Entitlement to weekly
compensation after first 26 weeks incapacity) if payment of the
compensation had not been stopped under section 83 (No
compensation while imprisoned) or section 113 (Compliance by
workers).
(2) The period when the worker’s entitlement is stopped is counted as
part of the 26-week period mentioned in section 39 and section 40 as
if payment of compensation had not been stopped.
