Loss of eyelids, partial or complete (DC 6032)

Body system: EyeRegulation: 38 CFR § 4.79

Loss of eyelids (partial or complete) is rated differently than other VA conditions because it affects you in multiple ways. The VA doesn't give this condition a single rating percentage. Instead, they evaluate two separate issues: any vision problems caused by the eyelid loss, and the cosmetic disfigurement, then combine those ratings together to get your final disability percentage.

Rating levels

-1% — Partial or complete loss of an eyelid is rated under 38 CFR § 4.79 based on the visual impairment caused and any related disfigurement of the face under DC 7800.
