What rating would be assigned to an injury that results in minimal subjective disability?

• A. 0%
• B. 5%
• C. 10%
• D. 15%

Answer: (A)

In the context of disability ratings, an injury that results in minimal subjective disability typically suggests that the individual affected experiences little to no impact on their daily functioning or work capabilities. A rating of 0% indicates that there is no disability resulting from the injury recognized by the rating system. This means that the injury does not impair the person's ability to perform normal activities or requires no compensation or workplace accommodations. Therefore, assigning a 0% rating aligns perfectly with the description of minimal subjective disability, as it reflects the absence of any significant impact on the individual’s overall health and functional status.

In contrast, ratings of 5%, 10%, or 15% would imply some level of disability or impairment that affects the individual's capacity to engage in usual activities, which does not align with the notion of "minimal" disability.
