Raynaud's Disease VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 7117 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.104 across 4 severity tiers (100% -- Chronic CHF or workload 3 METs or less / 60% -- Workload 3-5 METs or acute CHF in past year / 30% -- Workload 5-7 METs / 10% -- Workload 7-10 METs). 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.
Raynaud's syndrome (DC 7117) rates from 10-100% based on frequency and severity of characteristic attacks (color changes, numbness, pain in fingers/toes). 20% for characteristic attacks occurring one to three times per week. Common secondary to vibration exposure and autoimmune conditions.
Raynaud's Disease (DC 7117) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.104 using the cardiovascular 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 Raynaud's Disease 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.
