(b) the original superannuation income stream did not automatically revert to another person on the deceased ' s death; and

(c) no amounts, other than investment earnings, have been added to the relevant superannuation interest on or after the deceased ' s death; and

(d) one or both of the following occurs after the deceased ' s death:

(i) a superannuation death benefit that is a superannuation lump sum is paid using only an amount from the relevant superannuation interest;

(ii) a superannuation income stream (the new superannuation income stream ) is commenced using only an amount applied from the relevant superannuation interest.
