At Step 1 the delegate is calculating the total compensation that would be notionally payable under MRCA for all accepted conditions (regardless of the Act they are accepted under) at the date the veteran makes their MRCA PI claim.
Step 1 asks the delegate to:
- Use GARP M to assess, as at the date of the MRCA determination, the combined impairment ratings for:
(a) all MRCA accepted conditions, and
(b) any VEA and DRCA accepted conditions which were accepted conditions on the date of the MRCA PI claim
Note: Please see the Compensation Claims Procedures manual for more information about the procedural aspects of Step 1.
