Division 3 The criterion for entitlement to the provisions of the Staff Regulations shall be the serious and continuing impairment of the physical or mental activities.

1. (a)

   serious or chronic affliction of the central or autonomic nervous system, however caused, such as diseases of the brain, myopathy and autonomic paralysis;

2. (b)

   serious affliction of the locomotor system;

3. (c)

   serious affliction of one or more sensory systems;

4. (d)

This list shall not be deemed to be exhaustive. It is given by way of indication only, and shall not be taken as a basis for assessing the degree of disability or incapacity.

The amount of the allowance shall be equal to the amount of the allowance for a dependent child, and shall be additional to any such allowance.
