Interviewer instructions
Column 8: extent of physical disability: This column will be filled-in for persons having physical disabilities only, i.e. for persons with code 2 to 6 in col. 7. Self-care, such as, ability to go to latrine, taking food, getting dressed, etc., are to be taken into account for determining the extent of physical disability of a disabled member. The codes to be used are:

cannot take self-care even with aid/appliance …….…. 1
can take self-care with only aid/appliance ............…. 2
can take self-care without aid/appliance ...................... 3
aid/appliance not tried / not available ………………... 4

A ' - ' mark will be put if the person has only mental disability i.e. code 1 in col. 7. Persons with no light perception will be treated as 'cannot take self-care even with aid/appliance'. Similarly, persons without legs (both) or arms (both) or both the arms and legs (or those unable to use arms or legs due to paralysis or deformity) will also be treated as 'cannot take self-care even with aid/appliance'. Codes 2 and 3 are self-explanatory. In case a disabled person has never tried any aid/appliance or that the aid/appliance was not available to him/her and as such he/she is not aware of his/her position in regard to their use, code 4 will be recorded.
