Perhaps it is not an elegant example for someone so familiar with back pain. The point I am making here, Senator, is that a person should not and will not be rewarded for labelling the same injury differently. To borrow your phraseology in terms of double dipping, it depends on medical advice as to whether the incapacity is the same. It is something that will be determined by the compensation regime and it will be determined by that regime in the longstanding way that it has always been so determined.
