This means you'll receive full disability compensation and benefits, recognizing the serious nature of this cancer diagnosis.

Rating levels

100% — A soft tissue sarcoma of vascular origin is a rare type of cancer that develops in the blood vessels or lymphatic vessels (the body's drainage system) within soft tissues like muscles, fat, or connective tissue. This condition automatically qualifies for the maximum rating because it is a malignant cancer that significantly impacts your cardiovascular system and overall health. The VA recognizes that this type of cancer requires intensive treatment and creates substantial limitations in your ability to function normally.
