Which rating criteria do your symptoms meet?
Rating Criteria Checker
The same 38 CFR Part 4 criteria a VA rater evaluates against — check the symptoms you actually have and see where they line up, and what the next level describes.
Symptoms → criteria
Check what you genuinely experience and see which rating-criteria level those symptoms appear in — for 40+ conditions, straight from 38 CFR Part 4.
What the next level describes
See the criteria for the next threshold up and which symptoms raters look for there — so you know what, if it reflects your reality, to get documented.
Reference, never a prediction
This never predicts or promises a rating. Raters apply the full criteria as a whole; we only show you where your reported symptoms align.
This shows which rating criteria your symptoms align with — it is not a prediction or a promise of any rating. VA raters decide using the full criteria as a whole. Only check what you genuinely experience.
Criteria paraphrased from 38 CFR Part 4 for readability. Informational only — never a prediction, a promise of a rating, or legal advice, and never a prompt to report symptoms you don't have. A VA-accredited representative provides free individualized guidance.
