Disability status
Updated September 1, 2026
Records disability status.
ANNOUNCED (Q13). Records disability status. Asked in 2011 with eight categories (seeing, hearing, speech, movement, mental retardation, mental illness, multiple, other); 2027 categories are expected to align with the RPwD Act 2016's expanded list but the exact 2027 categories were not detailed in available reports. Disability advocates noted disability is excluded from Phase 1 and appears only in this Phase 2 schedule.
Confidence: high for the item; unconfirmed for 2027 category list.
