Where interim PI is payable in respect of a PI claim, the lifestyle rating for the person's whole person impairment is determined using Chapter 22 of GARP M
Note that for Step 1 there may be situations where no lifestyle rating has been determined. This would include:
- a transitional case where the old injury or disease is a SRCA condition; and
- where the MRCA client converted an interim PI payment to a lump sum prior to the inclusion of a lifestyle factor in interim PI from 1 July 2013.
If the client has completed option 1 (self-rated) or option 3 (questionnaire) these are to be ignored for interim PI lifestyle assessment.
