  "text": "(1) The annual amount of guaranteed income payment is the relevant percentage of the base figure.\n(2) The base figure is calculated by multiplying the relevant salary by the relevant factor.\n(3) In this article—\n(a) where one injury is sustained in one incident, “the relevant percentage” is—\n(i) 100 per cent. where the injury gives rise to entitlement at level 1, 2, 3 or 4 of table 10 of the tariff (band A),\n(ii) 75 per cent. where the injury gives rise to entitlement at level 5 or 6 of table 10 of the tariff (band B),\n(iii) 50 per cent. where the injury gives rise to entitlement at level 7 or 8 of table 10 of the tariff (band C), and\n(iv) 30 per cent. where the injury gives rise to entitlement at level 9, 10 or 11 of table 10 of the tariff (band D);\n(b) where more than one injury is sustained in one incident and the first and second injuries are specified in the same band, “the relevant percentage” is the percentage specified in the band immediately above the band in which the injuries are specified (except where the injuries are specified in band A in which case “the relevant percentage” is 100 per cent.);\n(c) where more than one injury is sustained in one incident and the first and second injuries are specified in different bands, “the relevant percentage” is the percentage specified in respect of the band in which the injury attracting the highest lump sum is specified.\n(4) Where the Secretary of State recalculates the amount of a lump sum under article 15(4) and, as a result, the first injury falls within a higher band of Table 10 of the tariff than it did before the recalculation, the Secretary of State shall then recalculate the amount of guaranteed income payment payable under paragraph (3)(b) or (c) of this article on the basis of the increased lump sum.\n(5) In this article—\n“the relevant salary” is the salary of the member of the forces on the day on which his service ends or, in the case of a former member of the forces, his salary on that day up-rated for inflation to the date of claim;\n“the relevant factor” is the figure specified in column (b) of the table set out in Schedule 5 in relation to the relevant age specified in column (a); and\n“the relevant age” is the age of the member of the forces on the day on which his service ends or, in the case of a former member of the forces, the date of claim.\n(6) Up-rating a former member of the forces' salary for inflation for the purposes of determining “the relevant salary” under this article shall be carried out in accordance with article 64.",
