B3  Other loss

This table is used to assess losses of a non-economic nature that are not adequately covered by any of the other tables in this Division.

The factors to be considered include:

    * dependence upon external life-saving or supporting machine (for example, aspirator, respirator, dialysis machine, or any form of electro-mechanical device for the sustenance or extension of activities);

    * dependence upon a specialised diet;

    * detrimental effects of climatic features (for example, temperature, humidity, ultra-violet rays, light, noise, dust);

    * move to specially modified premises.

A score out of 3 is assessed.

Using Table B5—Worksheet: calculation of non-economic loss (Step 1), the score for other loss is combined with the scores derived from Tables B1.1—Pain, B1.2—Suffering, B2.1— Mobility, B2.2—Social relationships, B2.3—Recreation and leisure activities and B4—Loss of expectation of life.
