Ordered by the number of rated disabilities VA counts in each category. VBA Annual Benefits Report, FY 2025. Where the report groups conditions together, or reports a category under a different diagnostic code than the guide we seat there, the rank is our approximation.

Rating ranges are the levels each diagnostic code allows — not an estimate for any one veteran, and not a combined rating. A single figure means the code has one evaluation and no ladder. Any code can also be assigned 0% when its requirements are not met (38 CFR § 4.31), and a 0% code can still carry special monthly compensation (38 CFR § 3.350).
