My property was badly impacted by a flood last year and it's in eligible Council.
I recently came to know about the flood grant and applied. The case office is saying that the property must be inhabitable and it is a mandatory requirement. I have read the guidelines and terms and conditions time and again and this doesn't appear to be a mandatory condition as the word 'or' has been specifically used. My flooring, doors and walls were damaged but the property was still liveable.
See section 3.2(a)(i) and 3.3(a).

Am I reading it incorrectly?
Apologies in advance if I put something wrong as my first post.
Eligible Disaster, has:
a)
(i) been destroyed or needs to be demolished;
(ii) been declared structurally unsound;
(iii) incurred disrepair to the interior;
(iv) its interior exposed the elements;
(v) sewage, which has gotten inside; and/or
(vi) sustained any such damage such that it is no longer habitable
As part v has and or for part vi , the assumptions is i - iv are required and one or both v and vi
And if it's structurally unsound or destroyed , shouldn't be living there
