Thanks in advance.
matkat, they do not combine disabilities over 20%. My initial assessment was 19% (lump sum) with 4% for one and 15% the other. I can't remember which was which. On reassessment I was awarded that crucial 1% and got a pension. My next door neighbour was awarded 33% for burns and lung tissue damage. When I say he walks his dog every day and climbs mountains, do not think he had been faking. He is not as fit as he was prior to the petrol explosion.
