  • Log in [1] to post comments

Section 69 of the MRC [2]A requires that PI compensation is not payable unless a person's WPI constitutes 10 IPs. IPs from more than one accepted condition can be combined to meet the 10 IP requirement.  The impairments excepted from the 10 IP requirement are impairments of the fingers, the toes, the sense of taste and smell, and hearing loss.  For these impairments section 69 of the MRCA requires that PI compensation is not payable unless WPI constitutes 5 IPs.  IPs from more than one condition cannot be combined to meet the 5 IP requirement.
