None of the provisions of this subchapter relating to periods of
disability shall apply in any case in which their application would
result in the denial of monthly benefits or a lump-sum death
payment which would otherwise be payable under this subchapter; nor
shall they apply in the case of any monthly benefit or lump-sum
death payment under this subchapter if such benefit or payment
would be greater without their application.
