What the VA Looks For
The VA applies a 100 percent rating for a malignant neoplasm of the gynecological system. Key points about how this rating works:
-
The 100% rating continues beyond active treatment. It shall continue beyond the cessation of any surgical, radiation, antineoplastic chemotherapy, or other therapeutic procedures.
-
A mandatory examination follows treatment. Six months after discontinuance of such treatment, the appropriate disability rating is determined by a mandatory VA examination.
-
Changes in evaluation follow due-process rules. Any change in evaluation based upon that examination — or any subsequent examination — is subject to the provisions of § 3.105(e).
-
Chronic residuals are rated separately. Ongoing effects such as scars, lymphedema, disfigurement, and/or other impairment of function are rated under the appropriate diagnostic code(s) within the appropriate body system.
