uin	110328
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2022 answer text <p>Calculation of an individual's Guaranteed Income Payment (GIP) takes a number of factors into consideration. The GIP calculation takes account of both salary and age in determining the lifelong loss of earnings the individual is likely to face, both salary and pension, as a result of their service-caused injury or injuries. It also includes an enhancement for lost future military promotions. This calculation enables the department to provide a payment that not only recognises final salary but also loss of future potential earnings.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 31/01/2022 14:56:26 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
