VA Disability — Endocrine & Metabolic
VA disability ratings for diabetes mellitus, thyroid conditions, Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome, and endocrine disorders — including Agent Orange presumptive diabetes.
Endocrine disorders in veterans frequently result from toxic exposure — diabetes mellitus type 2 is a presumptive condition for Agent Orange-exposed veterans. The chronic stress of military service, PTSD, and TBI also disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, contributing to thyroid disorders, adrenal conditions, and metabolic dysfunction. Service-connected diabetes opens significant secondary claim pathways: diabetic peripheral neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, and cardiovascular complications can all be separately rated as secondary conditions.
