Preliminary questions [1440]

7629 there is some evidence that therapeutic radiation may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.

5031 the veteran has received a course of therapeutic radiation at some time.

22713 the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation before the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia.

22717

the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation before the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia, where the first exposure occurred more than one year before the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia.

33186

the course of therapeutic radiation before the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia where the first exposure occurred more than one year before onset was given for an illness or injury which is identifiable.

22714 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia.

22715 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia.

or

22716 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation and eligible service for the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia.

Clinical onset and operational service [22715]

5326 — the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation was received is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [22716]

22719

the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia occurred within 40 years of the cessation of the course of therapeutic radiation which was given for treatment of the identified illness or injury.

5327 — the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation was received is causally related to eligible service.
