Testis, removal
Diagnostic code 7524 · Genitourinary system · 38 CFR 4.115b
Rating criteria: the exact regulation text
Quoted from 38 CFR 4.115b. The "Rating" column is the percentage VA assigns for that level.
Printed at the start of this table in the regulation:
| Criteria | Rating |
|---|---|
| Note: When evaluating any claim involving loss or loss of use of one or more creative organs, refer to § 3.350 of this chapter to determine whether the veteran may be entitled to special monthly compensation. Footnotes in the schedule indicate conditions which potentially establish entitlement to special monthly compensation; however, there are other conditions in this section which under certain circumstances also establish entitlement to special monthly compensation. |
| Criteria | Rating |
|---|---|
| 7524 Testis, removal: | |
| Both | 1 30 |
| One | 1 0 |
| Note: In cases of the removal of one testis as the result of a service-incurred injury or disease, other than an undescended or congenitally undeveloped testis, with the absence or nonfunctioning of the other testis unrelated to service, an evaluation of 30 percent will be assigned for the service-connected testicular loss. Testis, undescended, or congenitally undeveloped is not a ratable disability. |
Notes for the whole table
1 Review for entitlement to special monthly compensation under § 3.350 of this chapter.
