# Pancreas Transplant — VA Disability Rating (Diagnostic Code 7352)

*Digestive System · 38 CFR § 4.114*

## Understanding This Rating

A pancreas transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a diseased or non-functioning pancreas. The VA rates this condition under **Diagnostic Code 7352** within the Digestive System category.

Because a transplant is a major surgical event followed by a recovery and monitoring period, the VA applies a structured approach: an initial period at the maximum rating, followed by a re-evaluation to determine the ongoing level of disability.

## Available Rating Levels

| Rating | What It Reflects |
|--------|------------------|
| **100%** | Assigned for an indefinite period beginning on the date of hospital admission for transplant surgery. |
| **30%** | The minimum rating for this condition. |

## What the VA Looks For

- **Date of hospital admission for transplant surgery.** A **100% rating** is assigned as of this date and continues for an indefinite period.
- **A mandatory VA examination one year following discharge.** At this point, the VA determines the appropriate disability rating based on the results of that examination.
- **Any subsequent changes in evaluation** based on that examination — or any later examination — are handled under the procedures in § 3.105(e).
