Preliminary questions [1404]
there is some evidence that atomic radiation may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.36765 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of acute myeloid leukaemia.
36766 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of acute myeloid leukaemia.
or
36767 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and eligible service for the clinical onset of acute myeloid leukaemia.
Clinical onset and operational service [36766]
31995 the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.01 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow.
the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.01 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow where this dose was accumulated at least one year before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's operational service made a material contribution to the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.01 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow where this dose was accumulated at least one year before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.01 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow, to which operational service made a material contribution and this dose was accumulated at least one year 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 [36767]
the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow. the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow where this dose was accumulated at least two years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's eligible service made a material contribution to the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow where this dose was accumulated at least two years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow, to which eligible service made a material contribution and this dose was accumulated at least two years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
