Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

If you are awarded service connection for multiple sclerosis (MS), VA will automatically assign a minimum rating of 30 percent under 38 CFR § 4.124a, Schedule of Ratings – Neurological Conditions and Convulsive Disorders, Diagnostic Code 8018.  From there, VA will rate any residuals of the condition based on their own independent diagnostic codes.

Multiple Sclerosis is a presumptive condition if diagnosed within 7 years after discharge.
