Clinical onset and operational service [39822]
the veteran smoked at least 10 pack years of cigarettes or the equivalent thereof in other tobacco products before the clinical onset of renal artery atherosclerotic disease. smoking as a causal result of operational service made a material contribution to the Statement of Principles requirements for the clinical onset of renal artery atherosclerotic disease.Clinical onset and eligible service [39823]
the veteran smoked at least 20 pack years of cigarettes or the equivalent thereof in other tobacco products before the clinical onset of renal artery atherosclerotic disease. smoking as a causal result of eligible service made a material contribution to the Statement of Principles requirements for the clinical onset of renal artery atherosclerotic disease.Clinical worsening and operational service [39824]
the veteran smoked at least 10 pack years of cigarettes or the equivalent thereof in other tobacco products after the clinical onset of renal artery atherosclerotic disease and before its clinical worsening. smoking as a causal result of operational service made a material contribution to the Statement of Principles requirements for the clinical worsening of renal artery atherosclerotic disease. the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the smoking is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [39825]
the veteran smoked at least 20 pack years of cigarettes or the equivalent thereof in other tobacco products after the clinical onset of renal artery atherosclerotic disease and before its clinical worsening. smoking as a causal result of eligible service made a material contribution to the Statement of Principles requirements for the clinical worsening of renal artery atherosclerotic disease. the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the smoking is causally related.
