Eustachian Tube Dysfunction VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 6200 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.87 across 2 severity tiers (30% -- Dizziness and staggering / 10% -- Occasional dizziness). 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.
Eustachian tube dysfunction is rated based on resulting hearing impairment and chronic ear symptoms. Common from military flight, diving, blast exposure, and recurrent infections.
Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (DC 6200) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.87 using the ent rating framework. Because it is rated by analogy to the general schedule, the 2 levels below describe the body-system criteria the VA applies — the percentage assigned to Eustachian Tube Dysfunction depends on the specific findings (range of motion, frequency, severity, or functional loss) documented at the C&P exam and in the medical record.
