Virginia Retirement System members applying for disability retirement need their physician or another medical professional to complete this four-page report for the VRS Medical Board. It describes the functional limitations preventing usual work, each diagnosis with onset and whether it causes or contributes, treatment and medications, expected improvement within a year, and whether the condition is likely permanent.
The patient's physician or other medical professional completes Parts A through C and checks the condition-specific documentation in Part D. The member files VRS-6 and VRS-6A, and the employer completes VRS-6D.

Physician's Report
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

No. It applies to VRS members not covered by VSDP or VLDP. Hybrid-plan members and state employees hired after 1999 are covered by those disability programs instead of VRS disability retirement.
