Fatigue / Chronic Fatigue VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 6354 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.88b across 3 severity tiers (40%+ -- Severe limitation or ankylosis / 20% -- Moderate limitation / 10% -- Mild limitation or painful motion). 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.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (DC 6354) rates from 10-100% based on severity. 10% for signs and symptoms nearly constant and restricting routine daily activities by less than 25%. Can also be a symptom of other rated conditions like sleep apnea, TBI, or thyroid disease.
Fatigue / Chronic Fatigue (DC 6354) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.88b using the other 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 Fatigue / Chronic Fatigue 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.
