VA Rating for Cirrhosis

If you’re a veteran with a liver condition connected to or worsened by your military service, you may be entitled to VA benefits. Understanding the various VA disability ratings for liver diseases can help you know if you qualify.

Cirrhosis is a condition that causes scarring on the liver. It reduces liver functioning and results in liver failure. Heavy alcohol consumption, infections, or fatty liver cause cirrhosis.

Cirrhosis of the liver can’t be cured, but doctors can help you manage symptoms and potentially slow down continued damage with medication and recommended lifestyle changes.

The VA rates cirrhosis using diagnostic code 7312 in the Schedule of Ratings for the Digestive System. It can be rated at 0%, 10%, 30%, 60%, or 100%, depending on symptoms and severity.

If you are unable to work due to your service-connected disabilities, you may qualify for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU). If you think you may be eligible for TDIU or believe your current rating is too low, give us a call and receive a free legal consultation.
