Eczema, dermatitis, and other persistent skin conditions tied to your military service may qualify you for VA disability compensation — or a higher rating than you have now.
And if you were prescribed advanced treatments like Dupixent, our team can also review whether you may have additional legal options.
The VA rates chronic skin conditions based on severity, coverage, and the treatment required to manage them. Many veterans are unrated or under-rated for conditions connected to their service.
Chronic eczema and dermatitis are rated on the percentage of body affected and the systemic therapy needed to control them.
The PACT Act expanded presumptive conditions for veterans exposed to burn pits and airborne hazards — skin conditions included.
A skin condition caused or worsened by another service-connected condition — or its medication — may be claimed as secondary.
Skin conditions flare and fade, which makes them easy to under-document — and easy for the VA to under-rate. The difference between a low rating and an accurate one is often the medical evidence and treatment history behind the claim.
The VA gives you a limited window to challenge a decision. Miss it, and you may have to start over and lose months of potential back pay. If your claim was already decided, this is the group we can help right now:
Haven't filed a claim yet? If you were prescribed Dupixent, we may still be able to review your treatment history for other options — start here.
Dupixent is an advanced treatment prescribed for moderate-to-severe eczema and related conditions. For some patients, questions have been raised about a possible link to certain serious diagnoses, including cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
Our focus is your VA disability claim first. But during your free review, we can also determine whether your treatment history points to additional legal options — and if it does, connect you with the right team.
Sharing your treatment history costs nothing and never affects your VA benefits.
Every month you wait on a denial or low rating can cost you compensation you're owed. Answer a few quick questions and we'll review where your claim stands — at no cost to you.
