VA Disability Rating: Benign Neoplasms of the Gynecological System (Diagnostic Code 7628)
Understanding This Condition
Benign neoplasms of the gynecological system are non-cancerous growths that develop within the female reproductive organs. This condition is evaluated by the VA under Diagnostic Code 7628, which falls within § 4.116 and covers Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast.
How the VA Rates This Condition
Unlike some conditions that use a single fixed rating table, benign neoplasms of the gynecological system are rated based on their chronic residuals — the lasting effects that remain after the growth itself has been treated or resolved.
According to the rating criteria, the VA rates the chronic residuals, which may include:
- Scars
- Lymphedema (swelling caused by fluid buildup)
- Disfigurement
- Other impairment of function
What the VA Looks For
When evaluating this condition, the VA assigns a rating by looking at the specific chronic residuals present and applying the appropriate diagnostic code(s) within the appropriate body system for each residual. In other words, the rating reflects the ongoing impact of the condition rather than the presence of the growth alone.
Because the evaluation depends on which residuals are present and how they affect function, documentation of any lasting effects — such as scarring, swelling, disfigurement, or functional limitations — is central to how this condition is assessed.
This information is based on the VA rating schedule for Diagnostic Code 7628 (§ 4.116). Individual evaluations depend on the specific residuals and their severity.
These criteria are a rendering of § 4.116, diagnostic code 7628. The official version is the one that governs your rating.
