Last reviewed for CCPS 16 December 2009.

Preliminary questions [40668]

40687 there is some evidence that acute respiratory distress syndrome may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

40818 the veteran has had acute respiratory distress syndrome at some time.

40819 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute respiratory distress syndrome and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40826 the veteran had acute respiratory distress syndrome within the six months before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40820 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute respiratory distress syndrome and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40822 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute respiratory distress syndrome and operational service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

or

40823 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute respiratory distress syndrome and eligible service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

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.

40827

the veteran had acute respiratory distress syndrome after the clinical onset and within the six months before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40821 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute respiratory distress syndrome and VEA service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40824 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute respiratory distress syndrome and operational service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

or

40825 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute respiratory distress syndrome and eligible service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

Clinical onset and operational service [40822]

40828 — the veteran's acute respiratory distress syndrome is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [40823]

40829 — the veteran's acute respiratory distress syndrome is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [40824]

40828 — the veteran's acute respiratory distress syndrome is causally related to operational service.

40830

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the veteran's acute respiratory distress syndrome is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [40825]

40829 — the veteran's acute respiratory distress syndrome is causally related to eligible service.

40831

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the veteran's acute respiratory distress syndrome is causally related.
