14.—(1) Where paragraph (2) applies, paragraph 3(1)(f) of Schedule 1 to the Act has effect as if the “relevant benefit year” were any benefit year which includes all or part of the period of limited capability for work which includes the relevant benefit week.
(2) This paragraph applies where a claimant has made a claim for employment and support allowance but does not satisfy—
(a)the first contribution condition;
(b)the second contribution condition; or
(c)either contribution condition,
but would satisfy both of those conditions if the modified definition of “relevant benefit year” provided in paragraph (1) applied.
