Which of the following is NOT a criterion for a presumptive 100% award?

The criterion for a presumptive 100% award generally includes conditions or injuries that are deemed to result in total and permanent disability, significantly impacting an individual's ability to function.

Loss of both eyes, practically total paralysis, and injury resulting in incurable mental incapacity are all examples of conditions that fall within this category. Each of these conditions represents a severe impairment, severely limiting the affected individual's capability to engage in daily activities or work, thus warranting a presumptive total disability status.

On the other hand, loss of hearing, while it can be significant, does not automatically equate to a total disability because it may not universally prevent a person from working or functioning in society. Many individuals who experience hearing loss can lead productive lives with accommodations or assistive devices. Therefore, it does not fulfill the requirement for a presumptive 100% award like the other options listed. This distinction is crucial in understanding the severity of disabilities recognized under such awards.
