What We Do

VA Disability Support for Rash & Skin Conditions (Including Fungus) – Hyattsville, MD

Survivor Sources Inc. supports veterans throughout Hyattsville, MD and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region who are struggling with chronic skin conditions, rashes, or fungal infections linked to military service. These conditions are often painful, persistent, and underestimated—but many qualify for VA disability compensation when properly documented.

Skin conditions commonly develop from environmental exposure, prolonged moisture, poor sanitation, chemical agents, or stress during service. At Survivor Sources Inc., we help veterans understand their eligibility and build strong VA disability claims backed by medical evidence.

Do Rashes, Skin Conditions, or Fungal Infections Qualify for VA Disability?

Yes. The VA recognizes many skin conditions as compensable disabilities when they are connected to military service and cause ongoing symptoms or functional impairment.

Chronic rashes or dermatitis
Fungal infections (tinea pedis, tinea cruris, onychomycosis)
Eczema or psoriasis
Skin infections that recur or worsen over time
Conditions requiring ongoing topical or systemic treatment

Even conditions that seem minor can qualify if they are persistent, widespread, painful, or require continuous treatment.

Common Service-Related Causes of Skin Conditions

Extended exposure to moisture, heat, or unsanitary conditions
Boot-related fungal infections during deployment or training
Chemical or environmental exposure
Stress-related flare-ups connected to service-connected mental health conditions
Secondary conditions caused by medications or immune suppression

How the VA Rates Skin Conditions

The VA rates skin conditions under 38 CFR §4.118 based on severity, percentage of body affected, and treatment required. Ratings commonly include:

0% – Minimal symptoms, limited area, little to no treatment
10% – Recurrent symptoms affecting exposed areas or requiring intermittent treatment
30% – Larger body coverage or frequent systemic treatment
60% – Extensive coverage or constant systemic therapy

Proper documentation is critical. Many claims are underrated because symptoms, flare-ups, and treatment history are not fully captured.

What If My Skin Condition Claim Was Denied?

VA skin condition claims are often denied due to lack of documentation or failure to show a service connection. Survivor Sources Inc. helps veterans:

Appeal denied VA disability claims
Document flare-ups and treatment history
Obtain medical opinions and evaluations
Establish secondary service connections

Frequently Asked Questions About VA Disability for Skin Conditions

Can a fungal infection qualify for VA disability?

Yes. Chronic or recurrent fungal infections that began during service or worsened due to service conditions may qualify, especially if they require ongoing treatment.

Do flare-ups count when determining my VA rating?

Yes. The VA must consider the frequency and severity of flare-ups, even if symptoms improve temporarily with treatment.

What if my skin condition started after service?

You may still qualify through secondary service connection if the condition is linked to a service-connected disability, medication, or exposure.

Do I need to be under active treatment to file a claim?

No. While treatment records help, a current diagnosis and documented symptoms may still support a valid claim.
