Sleep Disturbance VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC Varies of 38 C.F.R. § 4.130 across 5 severity tiers (100% -- Total occupational and social impairment / 70% -- Deficiencies in most areas / 50% -- Reduced reliability and productivity / 30% -- Occasional decrease in work efficiency / 10% -- Mild or transient symptoms). 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.
Sleep disturbance is typically rated as a symptom of a mental health condition under the General Rating Formula. Chronic sleep impairment is specifically listed as a criterion at the 30% level. If caused by pain or physical conditions, it may support a higher rating for the underlying condition.
Sleep Disturbance (DC Varies) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.130 using the mental health rating framework. Because it is rated by analogy to the general schedule, the 5 levels below describe the body-system criteria the VA applies — the percentage assigned to Sleep Disturbance 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.
