# Complete Removal of the Uterus and Both Ovaries — VA Disability Rating (Diagnostic Code 7617)

## Understanding This Condition

Diagnostic Code **7617** covers the **complete removal of the uterus and both ovaries**. This falls under the VA's rating schedule for **Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast**, governed by **38 CFR § 4.116**.

When the VA evaluates this condition, it applies a straightforward two-stage rating schedule tied to the time since the removal.

## Available Rating Levels

| Rating | Criteria |
|--------|----------|
| **100%** | For three months after removal |
| **50%** | Thereafter |

### What Each Level Means

- **100% — For three months after removal:** Immediately following the complete removal of the uterus and both ovaries, this condition is rated at 100% for a period of three months.
- **50% — Thereafter:** After that initial three-month period, the condition is rated at 50%.

## What the VA Looks For

When rating under Diagnostic Code 7617, the VA looks at:

- **Confirmation of complete removal** of the uterus and both ovaries.
- **The timing relative to the removal** — the 100% rating applies for the three months following the procedure, and the 50% rating applies for the period after that.
