I would support both members. If somebody has an artificial leg and is quite mobile, he or she is fully covered under the existing scheme. However, if a person has suffered the loss of an arm or does not have the use of an arm, he or she is not covered under the scheme, even though the degree of immobility may be worse for the person who does not have use of his or her arm.
