Income replacement benefits—interim weekly payments
103 Income replacement benefits—interim weekly payments
This section applies if—
a person injured in a motor accident is entitled to be paid income replacement benefits; and
the relevant insurer for the motor accident has asked the injured person for additional information to decide the amount of the income replacement benefit payment to which the person is entitled.
The relevant insurer may pay the injured person an amount (an interim weekly payment) until whichever of the following happens first:
the person gives the insurer the additional information;
28 days after the day the insurer asks for the additional information;
13 weeks after the date of the motor accident.
The amount of the interim weekly payment is the percentage of $2 250 AWE indexed prescribed by regulation.
Note AWE indexed, for an amount—see s 18.
On request by the injured person, the relevant insurer may, but need not, pay the person a lower interim weekly payment.
An interim weekly payment is payable every 14 days after the start date for the injured person.
The MAI guidelines may make provision in relation to interim weekly payments.
In this section:
start date, for an injured person, means the start date for the injured person worked out under section 101.
