VA Rating for varicose veins​

For convenience in reviewing the rating criteria for varicose veins without navigating away from JVHV, here's the 38 CFR pertaining to diagnostic code 7120 (evaluated according to diagnostic code 7121) for varicose veins. The table displays the severity formula on the left and the corresponding percentage rating on the right.

​

7120 Varicose veins:​
Evaluate under diagnostic code 7121.​
7121 Post-phlebitic syndrome of any etiology:​
With the following findings attributed to venous disease:​
Massive board-like edema with constant pain at rest​	100
Persistent edema or subcutaneous induration, stasis pigmentation or eczema, and persistent ulceration​	60
Persistent edema and stasis pigmentation or eczema, with or without intermittent ulceration​	40
Persistent edema, incompletely relieved by elevation of extremity, with or without beginning stasis pigmentation or eczema​	20
Intermittent edema of extremity or aching and fatigue in leg after prolonged standing or walking, with symptoms relieved by elevation of extremity or compression hosiery​	10
Asymptomatic palpable or visible varicose veins​	0
Note: These evaluations are for involvement of a single extremity. If more than one extremity is involved, evaluate each extremity separately and combine (under § 4.25), using the bilateral factor (§ 4.26), if applicable.​
