VA Condition Terminology Reference

Compare plain-language search terms with possible VA Schedule terminology and diagnostic-code references. This tool does not diagnose a condition, establish service connection, or tell you what to claim.

Official reference

The controlling rating schedule is in 38 C.F.R. Part 4. Codes and criteria can change, so verify the current regulation before relying on a local reference. Current 38 C.F.R. Part 4

Why This Matters

  • Terminology can help you find the relevant DBQ, regulation, and medical records more efficiently
  • Diagnostic codes are references to the rating schedule; the current regulation and evidence control
  • A diagnosis, service connection, and rating are separate questions; this tool does not answer any of them
