# Penis, Removal of Half or More (Diagnostic Code 7520)

**VA Disability Rating — Genitourinary System | 38 CFR § 4.115b**

## Understanding This Condition

Diagnostic Code 7520 addresses the **removal of half or more of the penis**. This condition falls under the VA's rating schedule for the **Genitourinary System**, which covers disabilities affecting the urinary and reproductive organs.

## Available Rating Level

Under this diagnostic code, the VA assigns a single rating level:

| Rating | Criteria |
|--------|----------|
| **30%** | Penis, removal of half or more |

## What the VA Looks For

When evaluating this condition, the VA determines whether **half or more of the penis has been removed**. If this criterion is met, a **30%** disability rating applies.

## Special Monthly Compensation Considerations

This condition involves the potential **loss or loss of use of a creative organ**, which may have additional significance beyond the schedular rating:

- The VA reviews claims like this one for potential entitlement to **Special Monthly Compensation (SMC)** under **§ 3.350**.
- Per the VA's notes: *"When evaluating any claim involving loss or loss of use of one or more creative organs, refer to § 3.350 of this chapter to determine whether the veteran may be entitled to special monthly compensation."*
- Footnotes in the rating schedule indicate conditions that **potentially** establish entitlement to Special Monthly Compensation. The VA notes that other conditions in this section may also, under certain circumstances, establish such entitlement.
