Preliminary questions [27529]
there is some evidence that rheumatic aortitis may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.27531 the veteran has suffered from rheumatic aortitis at some time.
the rheumatic aortitis is associated with a relevant identifiable illness.27533 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rheumatic aortitis and VEA service for aortic aneurysm.
the veteran was suffering from rheumatic aortitis, a disease associated with the identified illness or injury, before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.27535 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rheumatic aortitis and VEA service for the clinical onset of aortic aneurysm.
27538 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rheumatic aortitis and operational service for the clinical onset of aortic aneurysm.
or
27539 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rheumatic aortitis and eligible service for the clinical onset of aortic aneurysm.
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 suffering from rheumatic aortitis, a disease associated with the identified illness or injury, before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.27537 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rheumatic aortitis and VEA service for the clinical worsening of aortic aneurysm.
27540 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rheumatic aortitis and operational service for the clinical worsening of aortic aneurysm.
or
27541 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the rheumatic aortitis and eligible service for the clinical worsening of aortic aneurysm.
Clinical onset and operational service [27538]
27542 — the identified illness or injury, a disease associated with rheumatic aortitis, is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [27539]
27543 — the identified illness or injury, a disease associated with rheumatic aortitis, is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [27540]
27542 — the identified illness or injury, a disease associated with rheumatic aortitis, is causally related to operational service.
the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, a disease associated with rheumatic aortitis, is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [27541]
27543 — the identified illness or injury, a disease associated with rheumatic aortitis, is causally related to eligible service.
the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, a disease associated with rheumatic aortitis, is causally related.
