(a) an allowance would not otherwise be payable because the circumstances in section 20A(2)(c) of the Act apply to that member in relation to the intensive activity period of the New Deal pilots for 25 plus, and

(b) that member has already participated in that same intensive activity period of the New Deal pilots for 25 plus for one continuous period of 13 weeks or two or more periods amounting in total to 13 weeks,
