It means that if 0% means no diability and 100% is like a vegatable state your disability would be 11% plus factor of age and type of work and which body part impairment and it means you have lost percentage of ability to do your customary work . There is another important factor which is the future medical treatment and the emotional impairment of amputation that can be severe too.
