to take long term medication.

or
Can lead a fairly normal life between attacks but must take long term medication.
FIVE             Must avoid some activities  such as driving a car, using machinery,  using public transport, swimming, travelling, being alone except for short periods of time lest an attack occur.

                 Only one rating may be had from this table for any given condition. Intermittent conditions may attract a rating from Table 15.5 as well as a rating or ratings from either Table 15.4
   No age adjustment permitted for this table

or the system specific tables.

The rating obtained in Step 10 is not to be compared with the rating obtained in Step 9, nor are ratings to be combined at this stage. Irrespective of the outcome of Step 9 the rating obtained from Table 15.5 is to be included in the final combining of all ratings.

Intermittent Impairment Worksheets

     A set of Intermittent Impairment Worksheets (pages 217 to 218) is designed to facilitate the calculation of intermittent impairment rating.

     Intermittent Impairment Worksheet (1) is to be used in those cases where all the attacks are grouped into a single type of attack.

     Intermittent Impairment Worksheet (2) is to be used in those cases where the attacks are grouped into two or three types.

     No worksheet is provided for those cases where more than three types of attacks are involved.

    The intermittent grading code is found from Table 15.3:

                       Intermittent grading code:

    Frequency of attacks:

          Frequency: (in number of affected days per year)

    The impairment rating is found from Table 15.4:

                 Impairment rating based on attacks:  = A

If the impairment rating based on attacks (A) is greater than the rating for the intermittent condition based on the system-specific chapters of GARP, then the impairment rating A is to be included in the final combining of all ratings.

    Avoided and precluded activities:                          Comments   (Selection from Table 15.5)

       Impairment rating for avoided and precluded activities:  = B

    Rating B is to be included in the final combining of all ratings.
