The key question at every rating level is whether your symptoms exist and whether treatment is needed to control them.

For a 10% rating, records showing that continuous treatment — such as ongoing medication, hormone therapy, or regular medical management — is required to keep your symptoms in check would support this level. For a 0% rating, records indicating that symptoms are present but do not require any continuous treatment would reflect that level.
