- Court
- District Court
Section 377, as amended 1 July 2005, requires that the combined Whole Person Impairment for all covered injuries before 1 July 1999 be assessed and that any previously paid lump sum percentage be deducted from that combined percentage; applying that to the facts (combined 20% minus previously paid 20%) yields 0% and no entitlement to an Independence Allowance.
