Note (2): Any one of the following activities of daily living are sufficient for evaluation: bathing, dressing, hygiene, and/or transfers.
Note:A rating of 100 percent shall continue beyond the cessation of any surgical, X-ray, antineoplastic chemotherapy or other therapeutic procedure.

Any change in evaluation based upon that or any subsequent examination shall be subject to the provisions of =C2=A7 3.105(e) of this chapter.
