Preliminary questions [33207]

30275

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

33208 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the brain.

33209 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the brain.

or

33210 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and eligible service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the brain.

Clinical onset and operational service [33209]

33211 the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the brain.

33212

the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the brain where this dose was accumulated at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35152

the veteran's operational service made a material contribution to the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the brain where this dose was accumulated at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

33213

the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the brain, to which operational service made a material contribution and this dose was accumulated at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical onset and eligible service [33210]

33214

the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the brain.

33216

the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the brain where this dose was accumulated at least ten years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

33215

the veteran's eligible service made a material contribution to the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the brain where this dose was accumulated at least ten years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

33217

the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the brain, to which eligible service made a material contribution and this dose was accumulated at least ten years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
