Last reviewed for CCPS 20 December 2002.
Preliminary questions [26989]
26990 there is some evidence that therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
26991 the veteran has undergone a course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart at some time.
26994 the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart as treatment for an illness or injury which is identifiable.
26992 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart and VEA service for the condition under consideration.
the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.26993 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart and VEA service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
26997 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart and operational service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
or
26998 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart and eligible service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
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 underwent a course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.26996 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart and VEA service for the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
26999 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart and operational service for the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
or
27000 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart and eligible service for the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
Clinical onset and operational service [26997]
27004 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart was undergone, is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [26998]
27005 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart was undergone, is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [26999]
27004 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart was undergone, 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, for which the course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart was undergone, is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [27000]
27005 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart was undergone, 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, for which the course of therapeutic radiation involving the mediastinum or the chest wall region overlying the heart was undergone, is causally related.
