payments in respect of an incapacity for work in respect of an existing injury
immediately before the designated day if the worker's entitlement to weekly
payments under the repealed Act in respect of any current or future period of
incapacity for work in respect of the injury had not ceased on account of a
decision under section 36 of that Act made before the designated day;
and
(b) a worker will be taken not to have ceased to have an entitlement to
weekly payments in respect of an existing injury on account of a decision under
