2 conditions:
                      a gastro-intestinal condition (A) resulting from warlike service assessed as 20 impairment points; and
                      a spinal injury (B) resulting from peacetime service assessed as 30 impairment points.
The lifestyle rating (L) from these conditions is 4.
The combined impairment rating (C) is 44.
Under Table 23.1, the compensation factor that would be applied if both conditions had resulted from warlike service would be 0.478.
If both conditions had resulted from peacetime service instead, the compensation factor would be 0.268 (see Table 23.2).
The weighted average compensation factor, using the above formula, is:
(20 * 0.478 + 30 * 0.268) / (20 + 30) = 0.352
The maximum compensation payable as at 1 July 2024 of $421.72 is multiplied by this factor to give a periodic payment of $148.45 per week.
If the gastro-intestinal condition had arisen from peacetime service (B) and the spinal condition from warlike service (A), with the same impairment and lifestyle ratings, the compensation factor would be:
(30 * 0.478 + 20 * 0.268) / (30 + 20) = 0.394
with a periodic payment of $166.16 per week.

       If a veteran has 2 or more conditions resulting from warlike (or non-warlike) service, the impairment rating A is the sum of the impairment points for each of those conditions.

       If a veteran has 2 or more conditions resulting from peacetime service, the impairment rating B is the sum of the impairment points for each of those conditions.

       The following example illustrates this.

Example 2: Three or more conditions resulting from different service types
Warrant Officer Smith has 4 conditions:
                      a mental health condition (A) resulting from warlike service assessed as 20 impairment points;
                      a lumbar spine condition (A) resulting from warlike service assessed as 10 impairment points;
                      a tinnitus condition (B) resulting from peacetime service assessed as 10 impairment points;
           a knee condition (B) resulting from peacetime service assessed as 10 impairment points.
The lumbar spine condition does not cause any resulting impairment to the officer's knees, thus does not affect the impairment rating assigned for the knee condition.
The total impairment at (A) is 30 (20+10 impairment points).
The total impairment at (B) is 20 (10+10 impairment points).
The lifestyle rating (L) from these conditions is 4.
The combined impairment rating (C) is 42.
Under Table 23.1, the compensation factor that would be applied if all 4 conditions had resulted from warlike service would be 0.461.
If all conditions had resulted from peacetime service instead, the compensation factor would be 0.258 (see Table 23.2).
The weighted average compensation factor, using the formula, is:
(30 * 0.461 + 20 * 0.258) / (30 + 20) = 0.380.
The maximum compensation
