Code Sheet

VA Terminology Definition

Plain English Definition

A summary document showing all your service-connected conditions, their diagnostic codes, and rating percentages.

Why This Matters

The code sheet is the quick reference showing your rated conditions. It's part of your rating decision and shows which diagnostic codes apply to each condition.

Example

Your code sheet shows: PTSD (9411) - 70%, Tinnitus (6260) - 10%, Left Knee (5260) - 10%. Combined rating: 80%. Effective date: 01/15/2024.
