Preliminary questions [23812]
31141 there is some evidence that regularly ingesting a combined oral contraceptive pill may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.
1169 — the veteran is a woman.
the veteran has ingested a combined oral contraceptive pill at some time. the veteran ingested a combined oral contraceptive pill for a continuous period of at least three years at some time.23814 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ingesting a combined oral contraceptive pill and VEA service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.
23815 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ingesting a combined oral contraceptive pill and operational service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.
or
23816 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ingesting a combined oral contraceptive pill and eligible service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.
Clinical onset and operational service [23815]
the veteran ingested a combined oral contraceptive pill for a continuous period of at least three years within the 15 years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast. operational service made a material contribution to the veteran ingesting a combined oral contraceptive pill for a continuous period of at least three years within the 15 years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.or
the veteran's ingestion of a combined oral contraceptive pill for a continuous period of at least three years was materially contributed to by treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable. where the veteran's ingestion of a combined oral contraceptive pill for a continuous period of at least three years was materially contributed to by treatment of the identified illness or injury, that three year period was within the 15 years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.10774 — the identified illness or injury which made a material contribution to the ingestion of a combined oral contraceptive pill is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [23816]
the veteran ingested a combined oral contraceptive pill for a continuous period of at least three years within the ten years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast. eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran ingesting a combined oral contraceptive pill for a continuous period of at least three years within the ten years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.or
the veteran's ingestion of a combined oral contraceptive pill for a continuous period of at least three years was materially contributed to by treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable. where the veteran's ingestion of a combined oral contraceptive pill for a continuous period of at least three years was materially contributed to by treatment of the identified illness or injury, that three year period was within the ten years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.10775 — the identified illness or injury which made a material contribution to the ingestion of a combined oral contraceptive pill is causally related to eligible service.
