Recurrent UTI VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 7541 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.
Recurrent urinary tract infections rated as urinary tract infection under 38 C.F.R. 4.115a. Common in female veterans and veterans with spinal cord conditions, catheter use, or bladder dysfunction. Document frequency, treatment duration, and hospitalization.
Recurrent UTI (DC 7541) 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 Recurrent UTI 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.
