The maximum 100% rating requires: Solitary plasmacytoma, when there is active disease or during a treatment phase.
Which 38 CFR diagnostic code does the VA use for Solitary plasmacytoma?
The VA rates Solitary plasmacytoma under Diagnostic Code (DC) 7724, published in 38 CFR § 4.117. The diagnostic code establishes the specific rating tiers and severity criteria the VA examiner applies.
Can Solitary plasmacytoma qualify for TDIU?
Yes — a 100% rating for Solitary plasmacytoma alone meets the single-disability threshold for TDIU (38 CFR § 4.16). If the condition prevents substantially gainful employment, the veteran is compensated at the 100% rate without a schedular 100% rating.
What evidence supports a higher rating for Solitary plasmacytoma?
The key evidence for Solitary plasmacytoma 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 Solitary plasmacytoma?
The C&P examiner uses a Hematologic & Lymphatic System DBQ and evaluates your condition against the DC 7724 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.
