Preliminary questions [23249]
there is some evidence that being exposed to manganese as specified may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.23276 the veteran has been exposed to manganese as specified at some time.
the veteran has been exposed to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months at some time.23277 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the exposure to manganese as specified and VEA service for Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism.
the veteran was exposed to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.23278 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the exposure to manganese as specified and VEA service for the clinical onset of parkinsonism.
23280 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the exposure to manganese as specified and operational service for the clinical onset of parkinsonism.
or
23281 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the exposure to manganese as specified and eligible service for the clinical onset of parkinsonism.
or
the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service. the condition under consideration permanently worsened. the veteran was exposed to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.23279 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the exposure to manganese as specified and VEA service for the clinical worsening of Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism.
23282 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the exposure to manganese as specified and operational service for the clinical worsening of Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism.
or
23283 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the exposure to manganese as specified and eligible service for the clinical worsening of Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism.
Clinical onset and operational service [23280]
38596 — the veteran has parkinsonism.
operational service made a material contribution to the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, to which operational service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical onset and eligible service [23281]
38596 — the veteran has parkinsonism.
eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, to which eligible service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical worsening and operational service [23282]
operational service made a material contribution to the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred before the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months, to which operational service materially contributed. the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, to which operational service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical worsening and eligible service [23283]
eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred before the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months, to which eligible service materially contributed. the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, to which eligible service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
