Interviewer instructions

Column 18: if code 2 in col. 13, reason for not acquiring aid/appliance: For each physical disability of the member for which aid/appliance was advised but was not acquired (i.e. for the disabilities with code 2 in col. 13), reason for not acquiring the aid/appliance by the disabled member is to be recorded in this column. The codes to be used are:

not available ………………….. 1
expensive ……………………… 2
not necessary for:
economic independence …… 3
personal independence ……. 4
others …………………………. 9

'Economic independence' means that the disabled person does not face any difficulty in pursuing his/her livelihood. When the disabled person does not need any help from others for his daily chores he/she is considered to have 'personal independence'.
