The main certainty it would bring about, which would be good for everyone, would be the implementation of annual payments which can then be reviewed as needs change. There are two sets of oddities. Even though an award may be very high, the person may run out of money or sometimes a person may get a huge award and, very sadly, pass away shortly afterwards leaving a huge amount of money which is not for their benefit but becomes an inheritance. That is not the best use of the money either.
