Spleen, injury of, healed (DC 7707)

Body system: Hemic and Lymphatic SystemsRegulation: 38 CFR § 4.117

This diagnostic code covers healed spleen injuries, but the VA doesn't assign specific disability ratings directly under this code. Instead, they'll rate you based on any ongoing problems or complications (called residuals) that resulted from your spleen injury. This might include things like digestive issues, blood disorders, or susceptibility to infections - each rated under their own specific diagnostic codes with percentages ranging from 0% to 100% depending on severity.

Rating levels

  • -1% — The VA doesn't give a specific rating just for having a healed spleen injury. Instead, they will rate you based on whatever ongoing problems or symptoms you still have from the spleen injury, using the rating criteria that match those specific problems (like digestive issues, blood disorders, or other body system problems that resulted from your spleen injury).
