(i)

P receives, or

(ii)

is taken into account as P’s gross weekly income; and

(b)

Where a variation is agreed to under this regulation, the additional income to be taken into account is the whole of the amount by which the Department is satisfied that P has reduced the amount that would otherwise be taken into account as P’s income.
