60%: Hypercalcemia by lab value, or reduced kidney clearance, low bone density or a past fragility fracture 100%: A flat six months at 100 percent after parathyroid surgery
Can a secondary condition raise my rating above 60%?
Yes. If a condition like Fractures is service-connected as secondary to Hyperparathyroidism, the VA combines both ratings using the official combined-ratings formula (38 CFR 4.25), which can produce a combined rating higher than 60% alone.
