7618
§ 4.116 Schedule of ratings—gynecological conditions and disorders of the breast.

Removal of uterus

Surgical removal of the uterus.

What the rating means

Removal of the uterus, including the corpus, is rated under diagnostic code 7618. VA assigns a 100% rating for three months after the removal. After that three-month period ends, the rating drops to 30%, where it stays. There are no intermediate levels — only these two ratings apply, and what separates them is simply the passage of time from the date of surgery.

One note that may affect your overall compensation: VA regulations direct that any claim involving loss or loss of use of a creative organ be reviewed under 38 CFR § 3.350 to determine whether you may be entitled to special monthly compensation in addition to the disability rating. That review happens separately from the percentage rating itself.

Evidence that helps

For the 100% rating in the first three months, medical records confirming the date of the uterine removal — such as operative reports or discharge summaries — are the core evidence, because the rating period runs directly from that date.

For the ongoing 30% rating, the same surgical records establish that the removal occurred. A pathology report or follow-up clinical notes that confirm the procedure was completed can also support this level.

Statements from you or people who know you describing how the condition affects your daily life and work may help VA understand the full picture, though the 30% rating itself turns on the fact of removal rather than specific ongoing symptoms. Because loss of a creative organ can trigger special monthly compensation, records that document the anatomical loss may be relevant to that separate determination as well.

Secondary conditions

Conditions that are often caused or made worse by this one. If you have any of these, they may be claimable as secondary service connection.
