Sec. 4.88c  Ratings for inactive nonpulmonary tuberculosis initially 
entitled after August 19, 1968.

                                                                  Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For 1 year after date of inactivity, following active                100
 tuberculosis...................................................
Thereafter: Rate residuals under the specific body system or
 systems affected.
Following the total rating for the 1 year period after date of
 inactivity, the schedular evaluation for residuals of
 nonpulmonary tuberculosis, i.e., ankylosis, surgical removal of
 a part, etc., will be assigned under the appropriate diagnostic
 code for the residual preceded by the diagnostic code for
 tuberculosis of the body part affected. For example,
 tuberculosis of the hip joint with residual ankylosis would be
 coded 5001-5250. Where there are existing residuals of
 pulmonary and nonpulmonary conditions, the evaluations for
 residual separate functional impairment may be combined.
Where there are existing pulmonary and nonpulmonary conditions,
 the total rating for the 1 year, after attainment of
 inactivity, may not be applied to both conditions during the
 same period. However, the total rating during the 1-year period
 for the pulmonary or for the nonpulmonary condition will be
 utilized, combined with evaluation for residuals of the
 condition not covered by the 1-year total evaluation, so as to
 allow any additional benefit provided during such period.
