84  Simplified outline of this Part This Part provides for compensation to be provided for current members who are incapacitated for service as a result of a service injury or disease. The Part also provides for compensation for some current part‑time Reservists, cadets and declared members who are incapacitated for work as a result of a service injury or disease. The Commission must have accepted liability for the injury or disease, and a claim must have been made in respect of the member, to be entitled to the compensation. The amount of compensation a member receives for a week depends on the difference between the member’s normal and actual earnings for the week. The member’s normal earnings are a notional amount. The member’s actual earnings are based on how much the member actually earns for the week. Normal earnings are worked out under Divisions 2 to 6, depending on the member’s current status (for example, as a Permanent Forces member or a Reservist) and their status at the time the service injury or disease occurred. Division 7 deals with how to work out the amount of compensation a member receives for a week if the member receives or has received a benefit under a Commonwealth superannuation scheme. (However, the amount of compensation the member receives for a week might be worked out under Divisions 2 to 6 if the member has applied for the benefit, but has not begun to receive or has not received the benefit (see section 89B).) Part 5 of this Chapter contains other important rules that apply in working out normal earnings, actual earnings and the amount of compensation generally. 85  Compensation for incapacitated full‑time members  (a) the person is a Permanent Forces member or a continuous full‑time Reservist for the week; and  (c) the service injury or disease results in the person’s incapacity for service for the week; and
