Dermatitis or Eczema
VA disability rating criteria for Dermatitis or Eczema under Diagnostic Code 7806. The VA assigns ratings of 0%, 10%, 30%, 60% based on the severity and functional impact of your condition.
Rating Criteria
Less than 5 percent of the entire body or less than 5 percent of exposed areas affected, and; no more than topical therapy required during the past 12-month period.
Note: Skin conditions are rated primarily based on percentage of body surface affected and level of treatment required. "Exposed areas" means areas visible when the veteran is normally clothed (face, neck, hands, forearms). Systemic therapy indicates a higher rating.
At least 5 percent, but less than 20 percent, of the entire body affected, or; at least 5 percent, but less than 20 percent, of exposed areas affected; or; intermittent systemic therapy such as corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs required for a total duration of less than 6 weeks during the past 12-month period.
20 to 40 percent of the entire body affected, or; 20 to 40 percent of exposed areas affected, or; systemic therapy such as corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs required for a total duration of 6 weeks or more, but not constantly, during the past 12-month period.
More than 40 percent of the entire body or more than 40 percent of exposed areas affected, or; constant or near-constant systemic therapy such as corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs required during the past 12-month period.
Note: The 60% rating is the maximum for dermatitis/eczema under DC 7806. Constant systemic therapy (near-daily corticosteroids or immunosuppressives) is the key clinical indicator. Total body involvement in a flare would also qualify.
