1. Discussion
The patient is independent, can take care of himself and go out alone. He
therefore is not in the SEVERE DISABILITY category. He has not resumed his
studies, which means a GOS rating of MODERATE DISABILITY.
C. Upper Moderate:
Work capacity: Reduced
Social activities: Resumed less than half as often as pre-injury
Disruption or Strain: Frequent (once a week or more but tolerable)
D. Lower Moderate:
Work capacity: Unable to work or only able to work in sheltered workshop
Social activities: Unable or rarely to participate
Disruption or Strain: Constant (daily and intolerable)
He is not able to study, even at a reduced level. This would make the rating
Lower Moderate on the GOS-E.

2. Additional comment
For a student the occupational status is evaluated
through asking about the ability to take up studies
again.
If that is not possible or if a much easier program is
chosen that would lead to a rating of MODERATE
DISABILITY.
