36628 the veteran has been exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage at some time.

36629 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and VEA service for osteoporosis.

36636

the veteran was exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

36630 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and VEA service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

36632 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and operational service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

or

36633 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and eligible service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

or

7334

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.

7335

the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

36637

the veteran was exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

36631 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and VEA service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

36634 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and operational service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

or

36635 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to cadmium and eligible service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

Clinical onset and operational service [36632]

36638

operational service made a material contribution to the veteran being exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

36642

the veteran's exposure to cadmium on operational service before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical onset and eligible service [36633]

36639

eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran being exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

36643

the veteran's exposure to cadmium on eligible service before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical worsening and operational service [36634]

36640

operational service made a material contribution to the veteran being exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

36644

the veteran's exposure to cadmium on operational service before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [36635]

36641

eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran being exposed to cadmium at levels sufficient to cause renal damage before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

36645

the veteran's exposure to cadmium on eligible service before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
