Hemorrhoids at 10% VA Disability Rating

Common questions about 10% for Hemorrhoids

How much does a 10% VA rating for Hemorrhoids pay?

A single veteran rated 10% for Hemorrhoids receives $180.42 per month ($2,165.04/year) under the 2026 VA rates, effective December 1, 2025. VA disability compensation is tax-free. With a spouse and one child, the monthly amount is $180.42.

What does it take to get a 10% rating for Hemorrhoids?

Prolapsed internal hemorrhoids with two or less episodes per year of thrombosis; or external hemorrhoids with three or more episodes per year of thrombosis

What's the difference between 10% and 20% for Hemorrhoids?

10%: Prolapsed piles clotting up to twice a year, or external piles clotting 3+ times. 20%: Ongoing bleeding with anemia, or always-prolapsed piles clotting 3+ times a year.

Can a secondary condition raise my rating above 10%?

Yes. If a condition like Anemia is service-connected as secondary to Hemorrhoids, the VA combines both ratings using the official combined-ratings formula (38 CFR 4.25), which can produce a combined rating higher than 10% alone.
