38 CFR Diagnostic Code 6014 — Malignant neoplasms of the eye, orbit, and adnexa (excluding skin)
Rating schedule §4.79 — § 4.79 Schedule of ratings—eye.
| Rating | Criteria (38 CFR §4.79) |
|---|---|
| 100% | Malignant neoplasms of the eye, orbit, and adnexa (excluding skin) that require therapy that is comparable to those used for systemic malignancies, i.e., systemic chemotherapy, X-ray therapy more extensive than to the area of the eye, or surgery more extensive than enucleation |
Notes in the regulation
- Note: Continue the 100 percent rating beyond the cessation of any surgical, X-ray, antineoplastic chemotherapy, or other therapeutic procedure. Six months after discontinuance of such treatment, the appropriate disability rating will be determined by mandatory VA examination. Any change in evaluation based upon that or any subsequent examination will be subject to the provisions of § 3.105(e) of this chapter. If there has been no local recurrence or metastasis, evaluate based on residuals
