Loss of eyebrows

To support a rating under this code, evidence needs to show that the loss of one or both eyebrows is complete. A medical record or examination report from a doctor or dermatologist documenting the complete absence of one or both eyebrows is the most direct form of evidence. Photographs taken during a VA or private medical examination can also help document the condition visually. Because the regulation sets a single rating regardless of whether one or both eyebrows are affected, evidence simply needs to confirm that the loss is total on at least one side. Statements from you or people who know you can help confirm the ongoing nature of the condition, but a clinical finding of complete loss is what ties directly to the rating criterion.
