CD.DR.01 ImpairmentType/Functional LimitationType
This code directory lists various types of impairments and functional limitations that PWDs may have, which may be combined, depending on the way the DR information is collected and organised. This information can inform the type of support that a PWD may need from a social protection scheme. If this information on disability support needs is not yet available in the DR, it might be accessed through interoperability with other SP systems.
These lists serve as a general guide to the type of information on impairment and basic functional difficulties that the SP system may request from the disability MIS in interoperability scenarios and may not encompass all possible types. It is essential to recognise that such a list will vary between countries, depending on the legislation and disability assessment and certification regulations, which may include different impairments, medical conditions and basic functioning limitations. The examples below are based on Article 1 of the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD); items frequently mentioned in disability related legislation, the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) check list and the Washington Group (WG) set of questions may be used by countries as part of more extensive disability assessment.
Issues related to the protection of privacy must be carefully considered and information on impairment or medical conditions that is irrelevant for the SP system may not be shared.
