(1) In this section—
"retiring age" means—
(a) if there is a normal retiring age for workers in employment of the kind from which the worker's injury arose—that age; or
(b) the age at which the worker would, subject to satisfying any other qualifying requirements, be eligible to receive an age pension under the Social Security Act 1991 of the Commonwealth,
whichever is the lesser.
(2) Weekly payments are not payable under this Division in respect of a period of incapacity for work falling after the date on which the worker reaches his or her retiring age.
