Bladder Condition VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 7512-7542 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.115a across 3 severity tiers (60% -- Absorbent materials changed >4x/day or appliance required / 40% -- Absorbent materials changed 2-4x/day / 20% -- Absorbent materials changed <2x/day). 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.
Bladder conditions are rated under the voiding dysfunction criteria in 38 C.F.R. 4.115a based on frequency (daytime intervals, nocturia), incontinence (pads required), or obstructed voiding. Common secondary to prostate conditions and spinal injuries.
Bladder Condition (DC 7512-7542) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.115a using the genitourinary rating framework. Because it is rated by analogy to the general schedule, the 3 levels below describe the body-system criteria the VA applies — the percentage assigned to Bladder Condition depends on the specific findings (range of motion, frequency, severity, or functional loss) documented at the C&P exam and in the medical record.
