Interviewer instructions

Entry under this column is to be made only for the types of disabilities which were not from the birth of the concerned person. The entry, therefore, will be made only for the types of disability for which code 2 appears under column 5. For such disabilities, age of the person at onset of disability will be recorded in completed years. If the informant is unable to tell the exact age at the time of onset, the approximate age at the onset of the disability may be recorded.
