Preliminary questions [40665]

40684

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

41073 the veteran has received ionising radiation to the lung from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles at some time.

41074

the veteran has received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the lung from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles at some time.

41064 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41065 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41067 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

or

41068 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation 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

41066 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation and VEA service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41069 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation and operational service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

or

41070 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation and eligible service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

Clinical onset and operational service [41067]

41075

on operational service, the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the lung from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles.

41079

on operational service, the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the lung from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41083

the cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the lung received by the veteran before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease, on operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

or

41087

the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the lung from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.

41088 as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the lung from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41090 — the identified illness or injury, as a consequence of which the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the lung from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles, is causally related to operational service.

41084

the cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the lung received by the veteran before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease, on eligible service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

or

41087
