(2) Where the benefit in question is unemployment benefit, sickness benefit, invalidity benefit or non-contributory invalidity pension and the beneficiary is a person in whose case the day to be disregarded in accordance with regulations made under section 17(1)(e) is a day other than Sunday, the reference in paragraph (1) to Sunday shall be construed as a reference to that other day.

(3) In paragraph (1) “appropriate weekly rate” means the weekly rate at which the benefit in question would be payable but for these regulations.
