Hashimoto's Thyroiditis VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 7903 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.119 across 4 severity tiers (100% -- Severe systemic involvement / 60% -- Significant systemic involvement / 30% -- Moderate symptoms requiring continuous medication / 10% -- Mild symptoms or medication-controlled). 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.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis typically leads to hypothyroidism rated under DC 7903. Autoimmune thyroid destruction requiring hormone replacement. Rated based on severity of residual symptoms despite medication.
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (DC 7903) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.119 using the endocrine 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 Hashimoto's Thyroiditis depends on the specific findings (range of motion, frequency, severity, or functional loss) documented at the C&P exam and in the medical record.
