Preliminary questions [4968]
4931 there is some evidence that inhaling respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.
4969 the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space and VEA service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the lung.
4970 the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space and operational service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the lung.
or
4971 the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space and eligible service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the lung.
Clinical onset and operational service [4970]
4974 on operational service, the veteran inhaled respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space at the time when material containing such fibres was being applied, removed, dislodged, cut or drilled.
36248 on operational service, the veteran inhaled respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space at the time when material containing such fibres was being applied, removed, dislodged, cut or drilled at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
4976 the veteran's inhalation during operational service of respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space at the time when material containing such fibres was being applied, removed, dislodged, cut or drilled before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
Clinical onset and eligible service [4971]
5004 on eligible service, the veteran inhaled respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space at the time when material containing such fibres was being applied, removed, dislodged, cut or drilled.
5005 on eligible service, in the course of eligible service duties, the veteran inhaled respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space at the time when material containing such fibres was being applied, removed, dislodged, cut or drilled.
36249 on eligible service, in the course of eligible service duties, the veteran inhaled respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space at the time when material containing such fibres was being applied, removed, dislodged, cut or drilled at least ten years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
5008 the veteran's inhalation during eligible service duties of respirable asbestos fibres in an enclosed space at the time when material containing such fibres was being applied, removed, dislodged, cut or drilled before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
