Strict statutory compliance with sections 135 and 147 is mandatory; failure to satisfy s147 cannot be cured by s90(9) or by absence of a review rights notification under the 1982 Act, and therefore no lump sum entitlement is preserved; appeal dismissed.

The appellant failed to notify a change of address and failed to provide required submissions; the respondent reasonably closed the file; section 147(1) is unambiguous that entitlement required payment on or before 30 June 1995 (except where payment results from a review or appeal decision) and no payment was made by that date; therefore the appellant is not entitled to lump sum compensation and the appeal is dismissed.

Because the appellant failed to lodge his claim before 1 October 1992 and did not file the required election notice by 31 March 1993, the statutory time limits in ss.135 and 147 of the 1992 Act bar entitlement to lump sum awards under the 1982 Act; the s.90(9) deemed determination only restores entitlement under the 1992 Act and cannot displace those statutory deadlines.
