Angina Pectoris VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 7005 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.104 across 4 severity tiers (100% -- Chronic CHF or workload 3 METs or less / 60% -- Workload 3-5 METs or acute CHF in past year / 30% -- Workload 5-7 METs / 10% -- Workload 7-10 METs). Service connection requires (1) a current diagnosis, (2) an in-service event, injury, or exposure, and (3) a medical nexus opinion linking the two under 38 C.F.R. § 3.303.
Angina is rated under coronary artery disease (DC 7005) based on workload capacity in METs. Exercise stress testing determines the MET level.
Angina Pectoris (DC 7005) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.104 using the cardiovascular rating framework. Because it is rated by analogy to the general schedule, the 4 levels below describe the body-system criteria the VA applies — the percentage assigned to Angina Pectoris depends on the specific findings (range of motion, frequency, severity, or functional loss) documented at the C&P exam and in the medical record.
Rating criteria reference 38 C.F.R. Part 4 (Schedule for Rating Disabilities). This entry has not yet undergone editorial review against the live regulation text — consult the authoritative source directly before relying on the criteria shown.
