Certain applications must not be determined
18 Certain applications must not be determined
The Secretary must not determine an application made by a person if:
the person has already lodged an effective acceptance; or
the person has made an application (the earlier application) that has not been finally determined; or
there is an alternative amount for the person.
The Secretary must not determine an application made on or after 1 December 2017.
An earlier application made by a person has been finally determined if:
the person is taken to have declined an offer made in response to the application (see section 41); or
the person has been given a refusal and the period for applying for a review of a determination included in the refusal has ended without the person making such an application; or
the person has been given a refusal that includes a determination made by an external reviewer.
This section has effect despite anything else in this Act.
