VA disability ratings for Respiratory conditions (other than Tuberculosis and sleep apnea): Interstitial Lung Disease: Diffuse Interstitial Fibrosis (Interstitial Pneumonitis, Fibrosing Alveolitis), Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonitis, Pulmonary Alveola

Respiratory conditions often significantly impact veterans' lives, and the VA evaluates these conditions carefully to provide appropriate disability ratings. The VA uses specific diagnostic codes to evaluate and rate respiratory conditions based on severity, symptoms, and diagnostic tests. Here is a breakdown of the conditions and corresponding codes for Respiratory conditions (other than Tuberculosis and sleep apnea): Interstitial Lung Disease: Diffuse Interstitial Fibrosis (Interstitial Pneumonitis, Fibrosing Alveolitis), Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonitis, Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis, Eosinophilic Granuloma of the Lung, Drug-Induced Pulmonary Pneumonitis and Fibrosis, Radiation-Induced Pulmonary Pneumonitis and Fibrosis, Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis), Pneumoconiosis (Silicosis, Anthracosis, etc.), Asbestosis.
