the claimant is to be treated for the purposes of the claim as having had limited capability for work throughout the period during which those conditions were satisfied.
(4) A claimant satisfies the relevant tax credit conditions on a day if—
(a)the claimant is entitled for the day to the disability element of working tax credit (on a claim made by the claimant or by the claimant 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) in the case of the claimant or the claimant and another is such that that person 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.

(c)that day falls not later than the end of the period of 104 weeks beginning with the end of the last week for which the claimant was entitled to an employment and support allowance,
