| HELP TEXT | The Katz Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) assigns a number from 1 to 3 in each of 6 activities. 1 is dependent, 2 is an intermediate limitation, and 3 is independent. The Katz Index may be used to determine whether a veteran is catastrophically disabled. This field must contain the number of permanent ADLs for which the veteran received a score of 1 (dependent). It is NOT the overall score on the KATZ test (which can range from 6 to 18.) |
