• a claim for PI compensation has been lodged in respect of the new accepted condition(s);
• as a result of the accepted condition(s), the person's WPI has increased by 5 IPs;
• the impairment is likely to continue indefinitely; and
• the condition has, or, if more than one condition has been accepted, all of the conditions have, stabilised.
