40980the veteran received iodine-131 as therapy for treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable.

40983the veteran has established the causal connection between iodine-131 as therapy and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40981

for treatment of the identified illness or injury, the veteran received iodine-131 as therapy before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40984the veteran has established the causal connection between iodine-131 as therapy and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40986the veteran has established the causal connection between iodine-131 as therapy and operational service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

Clinical onset and operational service [40986]

40990the identified illness or injury, for which the veteran received iodine-131 as therapy, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [40987]

40991the identified illness or injury, for which the veteran received iodine-131 as therapy, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [40988]

40990the identified illness or injury, for which the veteran received iodine-131 as therapy, is causally related to operational service.

40992

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 veteran received iodine-131 as therapy, is causally related.
