This is one of the most severe lower extremity disabilities the VA rates, carrying a 90% disability rating.

Rating levels

100% — You qualify for this rating if you have lost both of your feet through amputation or if both feet have been completely destroyed due to injury or disease. The loss must be "anatomical," meaning the physical structure of the foot is gone, not just that you can't use your feet due to other problems like nerve damage or severe deformity.
