Impairments Under Part A
It is crucial to ensure that the correct table is selected to send to the examining doctor.
|
Example |
|
Where there is impairment to a damaged medial meniscus, does Table 9.2 or 9.5 apply? |
|
Table 9.2 applies, as the meniscus is critical to joint function and as 9.2 is specifically for lesion within a joint, this table is the appropriate one. |
It is important to become familiar with all the tables in Part A, to ensure that the table most appropriate to the claim being handled is used.
If there are any queries relating to which table to use, contact the Operations Help Desk.
