What evidence supports a higher rating for Adenitis, tuberculous, active or inactive?
The key evidence for Adenitis, tuberculous, active or inactive is documentation of how the condition affects daily functioning. Treatment records showing worsening symptoms, functional limitations documented by your provider, and buddy statements describing observable impact on daily life all strengthen the claim. A nexus letter from a qualified medical professional linking the current severity to service is essential for contested claims.
What happens at the C&P exam for Adenitis, tuberculous, active or inactive?
The C&P examiner uses a Hematologic & Lymphatic System DBQ and evaluates your condition against the DC 7710 rating criteria. The examiner documents symptom frequency, severity, and functional impact. Bring all treatment records and describe your worst days, not your best — the VA rates on the full clinical picture across time, not a snapshot of one good day.
