a. Totally Blind

c. Crippled or lost the use of one or more limbs
d. Mentally Retarded;

If a person has lost the sight of only one eye do not categorise him/her as blind. Persons to be enumerated as deaf are those who are totally deaf. For the dumb, even those who are only able to mumble a few sounds are to be taken as dumb. Loss of limb could mean either that the limb (i.e. a hand or leg) is severed or the person has lost the powers to use the arm or leg. If the response to any of the disability categories is `yes' enter code '1', if the response is no enter code '2' in the appropriate box.
