Preliminary questions [10236]
there is some evidence that a wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity that may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.10292 the veteran has had at some time a wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity that may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative.
the veteran had a wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity that may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative, such contamination occurring more than 2 weeks before the clinical onset of hepatitis C.10297 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity that may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of another person and VEA service for the clinical onset of hepatitis C.
10298 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity that may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of another person and operational service for the clinical onset of hepatitis C.
or
10299 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity that may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of another person and eligible service for the clinical onset of hepatitis C.
Clinical onset and operational service [10298]
the possible contamination of the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative, more than 2 weeks before the clinical onset of hepatitis C, occurred on operational service. the possible contamination of the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative, on operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.or
the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity which may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative is an illness or injury which is identifiable.10300 — the identified illness or injury, a wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity that may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [10299]
the possible contamination of the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative, more than 2 weeks before the clinical onset of hepatitis C, occurred on eligible service. the possible contamination of the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative, more than 2 weeks before the clinical onset of hepatitis C, occurred on eligible service, as a causal result of eligible service duties. the possible contamination of the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative, on eligible service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.or
the wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity which may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative is an illness or injury which is identifiable.10301 — the identified illness or injury, a wound, laceration or other injury or disease disrupting skin integrity that may have been contaminated by the bodily fluids of a person not shown to be hepatitis C negative is causally related to eligible service.
