The official table of Section 4, what the target organs are, and why complications such as retinopathy and neuropathy are not always added separately.
Section 21 is one sentence long and gives no percentage for cancer itself — it refers to the impairment left in the organ. The official tables for breast, lung and kidney removal and for transplantation.
The full official table of Section 37, and why a disc herniation on an MRI does not set the percentage. What the committee measures in the room and what your file needs to contain.

Received a refusal or a low percentage? It is not the end of the road. What can be appealed, the critical timelines, how to file and what improves your chances.
The number that decides everything: how disability percentages are determined, what the Schedule of Impairments is, what the weighted calculation is, the difference between medical disability and degree of incapacity, and the minimum percentage needed to qualify for an allowance.
