Preliminary questions [27869]

27870 there is some evidence that therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

27871 the condition under consideration is aortic occlusive disease.

27872

the veteran has undergone a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta at some time.

28151 the veteran has undergone a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta affected by the condition under consideration at some time.

27873 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and VEA service for non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.

27874 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.

27878 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.

or

27879 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and eligible service for the clinical onset of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic 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.

27876

the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

27877 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and VEA service for the clinical worsening of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.

27880 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and operational service for the clinical worsening of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.

or

27881 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and eligible service for the clinical worsening of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.

Clinical onset and operational service [27878]

27882

on operational service, the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta affected by the condition under consideration.

27883

on operational service, the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

or

27875

the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta affected by the condition under consideration as treatment for an illness or injury which is identifiable.

27884

the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

27885 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related to operational service.

27875

the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta affected by the condition under consideration as treatment for an illness or injury which is identifiable.

27884

the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

27886 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [27880]

27885 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related to operational service.

27887

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [27881]

27886 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related to eligible service.

27888

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related.
