Increased Intra-abdominal Pressure due to Straining at Stool
Preliminary questions [35006]

35010 there is some evidence that increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

35012  the veteran has established the causal connection between the increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool and VEA service for inguinal hernia.

35013   the veteran has established the causal connection between the increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool and VEA service for the clinical onset of inguinal hernia.

35015  the veteran has established the causal connection between the increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool and operational service for the clinical onset of inguinal hernia.

or

35016  the veteran has established the causal connection between the increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool and eligible service for the clinical onset of inguinal hernia.

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.

35014   the veteran has established the causal connection between the increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool and VEA service for the clinical worsening of inguinal hernia.

35017  the veteran has established the causal connection between the increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool and operational service for the clinical worsening of inguinal hernia.

or

35018  the veteran has established the causal connection between the increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool and eligible service for the clinical worsening of inguinal hernia.

Clinical onset and operational service [35015]

35021 the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the thirty days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35023 on operational service, the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the thirty days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35025 as a causal result of operational service, the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the thirty days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35031 the straining at stool on operational service, which resulted in increased intra-abdominal pressure within the thirty days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

or

35035 as a result of an illness or injury that is identifiable, the veteran had straining at stool which caused increased intra-abdominal pressure.

35036 as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran experienced straining at stool which resulted in increased intra-abdominal pressure within the thirty days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35040  the identified illness or injury, that caused the straining at stool resulting in increased intra-abdominal pressure, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [35016]

35022 the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the three days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35024 on eligible service, the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the three days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35026 as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the three days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35032 the straining at stool on eligible service, which resulted in increased intra-abdominal pressure within the three days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

or

35035 as a result of an illness or injury that is identifiable, the veteran had straining at stool which caused increased intra-abdominal pressure.

35037 as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran experienced straining at stool which resulted in increased intra-abdominal pressure within the three days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35041  the identified illness or injury, that caused the straining at stool resulting in increased intra-abdominal pressure, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [35017]

35140 the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the thirty days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

35142 on operational service, the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the thirty days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

35027 as a causal result of operational service, the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the thirty days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

35033 the straining at stool on operational service, which resulted in increased intra-abdominal pressure within the thirty days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

or

35035 as a result of an illness or injury that is identifiable, the veteran had straining at stool which caused increased intra-abdominal pressure.

35038 as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran experienced straining at stool which resulted in increased intra-abdominal pressure within the thirty days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

35040  the identified illness or injury, that caused the straining at stool resulting in increased intra-abdominal pressure, is causally related to operational service.

35042 the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, which caused the straining at stool resulting in increased intra-abdominal pressure, is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [35018]

35141 the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the three days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

35143 on eligible service, the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the three days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

35028 as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran experienced increased intra-abdominal pressure due to straining at stool within the three days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

35034 the straining at stool on eligible service, which resulted in increased intra-abdominal pressure within the three days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

or

35035 as a result of an illness or injury that is identifiable, the veteran had straining at stool which caused increased intra-abdominal pressure.

35039 as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran experienced straining at stool which resulted in increased intra-abdominal pressure within the three days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
