Eye Disease / Graves' Ophthalmopathy VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 6006-6080 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.79 across 1 severity tier (10%+ -- Based on visual impairment). 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.
Graves' ophthalmopathy (thyroid eye disease) is rated under the eye rating criteria based on visual acuity loss, visual field loss, or muscle dysfunction. Each eye rated separately. Common secondary to Graves' disease and thyroid conditions.
Eye Disease / Graves' Ophthalmopathy (DC 6006-6080) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.79 using the vision rating framework. Because it is rated by analogy to the general schedule, the 1 levels below describe the body-system criteria the VA applies — the percentage assigned to Eye Disease / Graves' Ophthalmopathy depends on the specific findings (range of motion, frequency, severity, or functional loss) documented at the C&P exam and in the medical record.
