Aplastic Anemia
VA disability rating criteria for Aplastic Anemia under Diagnostic Code 7716. The VA assigns ratings of 30%, 60%, 100% based on the severity and functional impact of your condition.
Rating Criteria
Aplastic anemia, mild to moderate: Pancytopenia present but stable; hemoglobin > 8 g/dL, neutrophils > 500/mcL, platelets > 20,000/mcL; requiring treatment (immunosuppressive therapy, transfusions intermittently); moderate activity limitation.
Note: Aplastic anemia is characterized by bone marrow failure causing pancytopenia.
Aplastic anemia, moderately severe: Significant pancytopenia requiring frequent transfusions (monthly or more often); requiring hospitalizations; with infections from neutropenia; hemoglobin frequently below 8 g/dL; significant functional limitation.
Aplastic anemia, severe: Requiring bone marrow transplantation; or transfusion-dependent with hemoglobin below 7 g/dL requiring transfusions more frequently than monthly; severe neutropenia with life-threatening infections; inability to perform daily activities.
Note: After bone marrow transplant, rerating is required 6 months post-procedure based on residuals.
