Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004

This section applies for the purposes of:

determining whether an alteration, aid or appliance is reasonably required by a person under section 56; and

the amount of compensation under section 57.

The Commission must have regard to:

the likely period during which the alteration, article, aid or appliance will be required; and

any difficulties faced by the person in gaining access to, or enjoying reasonable freedom of movement in, his or her place of residence, education, work or service; and

whether arrangements can be made for hiring the article, aid or appliance concerned; and

if the person has previously received compensation under this section in respect of an alteration of his or her place of residence and has later disposed of that place of residence—whether the value of that place of residence was increased as a result of the alteration; and

if the person is a Permanent Forces member or a continuous full‑time Reservist:

the length of time that the person is likely to continue to serve as a Permanent Forces member or a continuous full‑time Reservist; and

whether the provision of an alteration, article, aid or appliance would increase that length of time.
