10385 the veteran had an injection more than 3 weeks before the clinical onset of hepatitis D, for which the instruments were not sterilised.

10387 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the injection and VEA service for the clinical onset of hepatitis D.

10388 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the injection and operational service for the clinical onset of hepatitis D.

or

10389 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the injection and eligible service for the clinical onset of hepatitis D.
