Double disablement.
|
7.—Where—
|
|
| |
(a) a person is suffering from a disablement (in this section referred to as the disease disablement) caused by a disease the degree of which is less than eighty per cent. and the circumstances are such that such person could be granted a disability pension in respect of the disease disablement if the degree of disablement had equalled or exceeded eighty per cent., and
|
|
| |
(b) such person is also suffering from a disablement (in this section referred to as the wound disablement) caused by a wound in respect of which he could be granted a wound pension, or could, if the degree of disablement had equalled or exceeded twenty per cent., be granted a wound pension,
|
|
| |
then, for the purposes of the two immediately preceding sections the following provisions shall have effect, that is to say:—
|
|
| |
(i) the degree of his disablement shall be the sum total of the degree of the disease disablement and the degree of the wound disablement,
|
|
| |
(ii) if the said sum total exceeds one hundred per cent., the degree of disablement shall be reckoned as one hundred per cent.,
|
|
| |
(iii) the whole of his disablement shall be deemed to have been caused by the wound.
