Fallopian Tube Disease

DC 7614Gynecological/Breast38 CFR 4.116, DC 7614

Disease or injury of the fallopian tubes, including blockage, scarring, hydrosalpinx, or removal. Can result from pelvic inflammatory disease, infections, endometriosis, or surgical complications. The VA rates fallopian tube disease based on symptom severity and treatment requirements.

How the VA rates this condition

The VA rates this condition based on the type and intensity of treatment you require. Higher ratings correspond to more aggressive treatment regimens, such as daily medication, insulin dependence, or the need for ongoing medical management.

Rating levels

Rating criteria are defined in 38 CFR 4.116, DC 7614. This guide presents a plain-language summary and is not a substitute for the full regulatory text. Always consult a VSO or VA-accredited attorney for case-specific advice.

Rating Levels

Your fallopian tube disease causes symptoms that are not controlled by continuous treatment, with persistent pelvic pain, recurrent infections, or significant functional impact.

What the VA looks for

Persistent symptoms despite continuous treatment
Multiple treatment approaches tried and failed
Chronic pelvic pain affecting daily activities
Recurrent pelvic infections despite treatment
Documented functional limitations from symptoms

Common Pitfalls

⚠Not applying for Special Monthly Compensation (SMC-K) for loss of a creative organ if both fallopian tubes were removed or rendered non-functional — this is additional compensation frequently missed.
⚠Not connecting fallopian tube disease to in-service pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), sexually transmitted infections treated during service, or surgical complications from in-service procedures.
⚠Not filing for infertility as a secondary condition — blocked or removed fallopian tubes directly cause infertility, which qualifies for SMC-K.
⚠Not documenting the chronic pain and its impact on daily activities — keep records of pain episodes, medications used, and work limitations.
