Interviewer instructions

Columns 16 & 17: 'whether working before the onset of disability' and 'if working before the onset of disability, whether disability caused loss or change of work?': The purpose of these items is to ascertain whether the disabled members who were working prior to the onset of disability had loss or change of work due to the onset of disability. In the case of persons having multiple disabilities, work status at the onset of each of the multiple disabilities will have to be determined separately and if the person is reported to be working at the onset of at least one of the multiple disabilities, code 1 will be recorded in column 16. For those who have disability since birth, and for children of age 0-4 years, code 2 will be recorded in column 16. Column 17 will be filled-in only for those who were working at the onset of disability (i.e. for those with code 1 in column 16). The codes to be used for recording entry in column 17 are:

loss of work ..............……….. 1
change of work ............……….. 2
no loss or no change of work .…. 3

For persons having only one disability and working at the onset of disability, no difficulty will arise in ascertaining whether the disability caused loss of work or change of work. For persons having two or more disabilities and working at the onset of each of the disabilities, all the three situations - loss of work, change of work and no loss or no change of work - may occur. In such cases, code 1 will get priority over codes 2 & 3 and code 2 over code 3. For self-employed persons, code 1 will be entered only if he/she lost the job due to the onset of disability. The 'change of work' will relate to any kind of change of type/nature of work. If the onset of disability did not cause loss or change of work, code 3 will be recorded in column 17.
