Stand Ready: Rating Code Navigator
Look up any diagnostic code (DC) from the VA's rating schedule — 38 CFR Part 4 — by code number, condition name, or keyword. Plain language where we've written it up; the verbatim regulation always. An education and reference tool: it does not adjudicate claims or predict ratings.

About this page. It is informational only — not legal, medical, or benefits advice — and no substitute for a VA-accredited Veterans Service Officer (VSO). A VSO reads your code sheet with you at no cost. The regulation text shown in the verbatim tier is quoted from 38 CFR Part 4; plain-language summaries are our own work on curated codes and are clearly separated. Rules and criteria change — verify current text at eCFR.gov and VA.gov. Stand Easy Network does not adjudicate claims, predict ratings, or make outcome promises, and never quotes dollar amounts — current rates live on VA.gov.
If you are in crisis, the Veterans Crisis Line is there for you, 24/7: dial nine eight eight, then press one; or text 838255; or chat online at veteranscrisisline.net.
