Description

Disability status is determined by a set of questions (The Washington Group Short Set), that ask respondents about their ability to carry out six basic activities.

The activities are:

  • seeing, even if wearing glasses
  • hearing, even if using a hearing aid
  • walking or climbing steps
  • remembering or concentrating
  • washing all over or dressing
  • communicating

The response options are:

  • No difficulty
  • Some difficulty
  • A lot of difficulty
  • Can’t do at all

People who respond ‘a lot of difficulty’ or ‘can’t do at all’ to at least one of the activities are counted as disabled in the survey.
