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

"Symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, nausea, or constipation that occur despite surgery; or in individuals who are not candidates for surgery but require continuous medication for control."

What's the difference between 10% and 60% for Hyperparathyroidism?

10%: "Symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, nausea, or constipation that occur despite surgery; or in individuals who are not candidates for surgery but require continuous medication for control." 60%: "Hypercalcemia (indicated by at least one of the following: Total Ca greater than 12 mg/dL (3-3.5 mmol/L), Ionized Ca greater than 5.6 mg/dL (2-2.5 mmol/L), creatinine clearance less than 60 mL/min, bone mineral density T-score less than 2.5 SD (below mean) at any site or previous fragility fracture)." Note (2): where surgery is indicated, this evaluation continues until the day of surgery, when the 100 percent provisions take over. Note (3): where surgery is not indicated, it continues for six months after pharmacologic treatment begins, after which residuals are rated.

Can a secondary condition raise my rating above 10%?

Yes, up to 100%. A condition service-connected as secondary to Hyperparathyroidism gets its own rating, which VA combines with your other ratings under 38 CFR 4.25, so your combined rating can end up higher than 10%.
