Prostate Cancer residuals and ratings

Question:

Jim, what is the absorbent pad requirement for ratings of 40 and 60% of residuals of prostate cancer?

Jim's Reply:

In The Schedule For Rating Disabilities,  we find Voiding Dysfunction: Rate particular condition as urine leakage, frequency, or obstructed voiding.

Continual Urine Leakage, Post Surgical Urinary Diversion, Urinary Incontinence, or Stress Incontinence:

  • Requiring the use of an appliance or the wearing of absorbent materials which must be changed more than 4 times per day...60%
  • Requiring the wearing of absorbent materials which must be changed 2 to 4 times per day....40%
  • Requiring the wearing of absorbent materials which must be changed less than 2 times per day ...20 %
