The following is a summary of the purpose of chapter 25 of GARP M:

  • Chapter 25 requires that the total impairment rating derived from the accepted MRCA, VEA and DRCA conditions, as well as the lifestyle effects, is used to calculate a gross MRCA periodic payment in $ per week,
  • The gross amount is then reduced by the amount that would be payable under the MRCA for the VEA and DRCA conditions,
  • The remainder is the net notional MRCA periodic payment payable under the MRCA.
