Depleted Uranium Exposure VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC Various of 38 C.F.R. § 3.311 across 1 severity tier (Rated on resulting conditions). 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.
Depleted uranium exposure from ammunition and armor is tracked by VA. Kidney disease and certain cancers may be connected. Veterans exposed during Gulf War and Iraq operations should register for DU monitoring.
