12.7.2.2 Step 2

At step 2 the delegate is deciding whether, under GARP M, the MRCA accepted condition contributes at least 5 impairment points to the overall impairment rating.

Step 2 provides the following two options:

• if the MRCA accepted condition contributes at least five impairment points to the overall impairment rating, compensation may be payable, then proceed to step 3,
•  
• if the MRCA accepted condition does not contribute at least five impairment points, then the claim is rejected.

Note: Please see the Compensation Claims Procedures manual for more information about the procedural aspects of step 2.
