Gorden, could you clarify that for me. Are you comparing that to the DLA mobility criteria where someone can walk without stopping only if they're in contant pain and still be viewed as virtually unable to walk ?

Ahh I must have missed that when I used the guide. Hence my previous post on the subject.

Thank you Gordon.
