Uterus Removal (Hysterectomy) — VA Disability Rating
Diagnostic Code 7618 · 38 CFR § 4.116 Body System: Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast
Understanding This Condition
Diagnostic Code 7618 covers the removal of the uterus, including the corpus (the main body of the uterus). This is the rating category the VA uses when evaluating disability related to a hysterectomy involving removal of the uterus and corpus.
Available Rating Levels
The VA assigns a disability rating under this code based on how much time has passed since the removal:
| Rating | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 100% | For three months after removal |
| 30% | Thereafter |
Under this schedule, a 100% rating applies for the three-month period following the removal. After that period, the rating is set at 30%.
What the VA Looks For
When rating under Diagnostic Code 7618, the VA looks at:
- Whether the uterus, including the corpus, has been removed.
- The timing relative to the removal — the first three months after removal are rated at 100%, and the period thereafter is rated at 30%.
