  Degree of disability is a term used in the FS-CM Claims Management component of SAP. It is a measure of the severity of an individual's disability, which is used to determine the amount of compensation they are eligible for. The degree of disability is determined by a medical professional and is based on the individual's physical and mental impairments. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the degree of disability in SAP, a medical professional must first assess the individual's disability and assign a degree of disability rating. This rating is then entered into SAP, which will calculate the amount of compensation that the individual is eligible for based on their degree of disability.

  When entering the degree of disability into SAP, it is important to ensure that the correct rating is entered. This will ensure that the individual receives the correct amount of compensation. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in the individual's condition, as this may affect their degree of disability rating and therefore their compensation amount.
