I understand that we are dealing under Subdivision C—Miscellaneous, 123WJ, and on page 43, subsection (9) where it says:
The Secretary must not make a determination under subsection (7) unless:
(a) the lump sum is $200 or less.
It goes on:
(b) the Secretary is satisfied that there are special circumstances—
for example, a large expense—
that warrant the making of the determination.
