Rating Schedule for the Skull
TL;DR
What You Need to Know
- Bone structure only - This schedule rates skull bone loss, NOT brain injuries
- Ratings range from 10% for small loss (quarter-size) to 80% for brain herniation
- TBI rated separately - See the TBI page for brain trauma ratings
This schedule is purely regarding the bone structure of the Skull itself. It does not address the residuals of brain traumas.
