Because section 442 requires deduction of the percentage for which a lump sum was previously paid (29%) from any newly assessed whole person impairment (27%), the residual impairment fell below the statutory 10% threshold in Clause 58; therefore no entitlement to an independence allowance exists and there is no arguable error of law requiring grant of leave to appeal.
