(c)any two such periods not separated by a period of more than 8 weeks shall be treated as one period of incapacity for work.
(2)Any day which falls within the maternity allowance period (as defined in section 35(2) below) shall be treated for the purposes of any provision of this Act relating to incapacity benefit as a day of incapacity for work unless the woman is disqualified for receiving a maternity allowance for that day by virtue of regulations under section 35(3)(a) below.

(4)Regulations may provide—

(b)that paragraph (c) of that subsection shall have effect as if for the reference to 8 weeks there were substituted a reference to such larger number of weeks as may be specified in the regulations.
[F2(5)Where a person claims the higher rate of short-term incapacity benefit, or long-term incapacity benefit, under section 30A above for a period commencing after he has ceased to be in qualifying remunerative work (within the meaning of Part 1 of the Tax Credits Act 2002) and—

(c)he satisfied the relevant tax credit conditions on the day before he so ceased,
every day during that period on which he satisfied those conditions is to be treated for the purposes of the claim as a day of incapacity for work for him.
(5A)A person satisfies the relevant tax credit conditions on a day if—
(a)he is entitled for the day to the disability element of working tax credit (on a claim made by him or by him jointly with another) or would be so entitled but for the fact that the relevant income (within the meaning of Part 1 of the Tax Credits Act 2002) in his or their case is such that he is not so entitled, and
(b)either working tax credit or any element of child tax credit other than the family element is paid in respect of the day on such a claim.]

(a)a person becomes engaged in training for work; and

(c)the first day after he ceases to be so engaged is for him a day of incapacity for work and falls not later than the end of the period of two years beginning with the last day for which he was entitled to such benefit,
any day since that day in which he was engaged in training for work shall be treated for the purposes of any claim for such benefit for a period commencing after he ceases to be so engaged as having been a day of incapacity for work.
In this subsection “training for work” means training for work in pursuance of arrangements made under section 1(1) of the Employment and Training Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 or training of such other description as may be prescribed.
(7)For the purposes of this section “week” means any period of 7 days.]
