Va Disease Codes

[Old 5311]

Please post again the (web site) regulation containing all the VA codes. I've seen them her but cannot find them. Need Osteoarthritis with Underlying Disbaric Osteonecrosis, Sleep Depravation(insomnia) and ED.

Making preperations for an upcomming Video Appeal.

Thanks,

JPW

Ahaa! I found 38CFR Part 4 on Google diagnostic codes and compensation!

Found everything except: Sleep depravation/Insomnia and ED. Anyone with info in these?

Thanks,

I think someone answered for you already-but you have a powerful weapon-38 CFR Part 4 !

Men and women- every claimant should have this info right on their Desktop-or in Favorite link-

They should check the DCs immediately when they get something from the VA-

The wrong DC might well mean they rated you wrong and gave you the wrong %.

I have an SOC here and every DC they put is wrong-

The rating is 100% as combined but still these DC codes are wrong and the veteran is eligible for SMC but they did not consider SMC because those percentages are all wrong-

They will snooker a vet anyway they can and it is solely up to the vet to figure this stuff out because most of the vet reps I know do not even have a rating schedule handy, let alone the long list of DCs .

Thanks again, Berta.

You are right about 38 CFR Part 4, I've been reading it today.

Still looking for DC for Sleep Depravation/Insomnia and ED.

This case explains how they determine the DCs for erectile dysfunction:

It is also the SMC "K" award.
