Tropical Disease Residuals VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 6310 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.88b across 4 severity tiers (100% -- Severe systemic disease / 60% -- Moderate to severe disease / 30% -- Moderate disease / 10% -- Mild disease). 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.
Tropical disease residuals from service in endemic areas. Includes malaria, dengue, and parasitic infections. Rated based on chronic residuals after acute phase.
Tropical Disease Residuals (DC 6310) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.88b using the hematologic 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 Tropical Disease Residuals 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.
