Anemia (Generic — Rated by Analogy) VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 7716 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.117 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.
DC 7700 was REMOVED by the 2018-12-09 § 4.117 amendment. Generic anemia is now rated by analogy under DC 7716 (aplastic anemia) OR within the underlying SC condition's framework: 100% transfusions every 6 weeks or stem cell transplant; 60% transfusions every 3 months or continuous ESA / immunosuppressive therapy; 30% transfusions yearly or recurrent infections; 10% Hgb < 10 g/dL with chronic fatigue + continuous medication; 0% Hgb 10-12 g/dL asymptomatic with oral iron.
Anemia (Generic — Rated by Analogy) (DC 7716) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.117 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 Anemia (Generic — Rated by Analogy) 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.
