The method for calculating NWE for a person who was not engaged in employment and has no employment skills is to deem NWE equal to 7 x the reserve daily rate as per section 5.3.2.3.
The following formula is applicable when the person:
Was injured in part-time reserve service
Is discharged from all forms of service
Is engaged in civilian work or has employable skills
NWE = Reserve pay and allowances + civilian pay and allowances

Reserve pay and allowances means the reserve pay and allowances the member would have received for the week if not incapacitated for work; and
The following formula is applicable when either a person:
was injured in PF and is discharged from PF service; or
was injured in CFTS and is discharged from all forms of service.
NWE = normal ADF rate of pay for the week + normal pay-related allowances for the week
where:
normal ADF rate of pay means the amount of ADF pay the member would have received for the week if not incapacitated for service; and
Service giving rise to condition | Normal Weekly Earnings (NWE) | Normal Weekly Hours (NWH) |
Permanent Forces | Full-time ADF pay & allowances | 36.75 |
CFTS |
