34         Whatever the cause of death, the assessor must only assess the permanent impairment resulting from the injury. The assessor should, where possible, assess the degree of permanent impairment resulting from the injury by reference to the available evidence (for example, clinical records, investigations, reported histories) and/or by using clinical judgment. For the purposes of the SRC Act and this Guide, death is not an impairment that is compensable under section 24 of the Act. Compensation for an injury resulting in death is dealt with separately in sections 17 and 18 of the Act.
