Preliminary questions [32472]

32571 there is some evidence that a course of therapeutic radiation may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

5031 the veteran has received a course of therapeutic radiation at some time.

22761 the veteran has received a course of therapeutic radiation to the region affected by the condition under consideration at some time.

22763

the veteran received a course of therapeutic radiation to the region affected by the condition under consideration for treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable.

32473the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the affected region and VEA service for atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.

32474

for the identified illness or injury, the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region affected by the condition under consideration before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

32475the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the affected region and VEA service for the clinical onset of atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.

32478the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the affected region and operational service for the clinical onset of atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.

or

32479the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the affected region and eligible service for the clinical onset of atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.

or

7334

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.

7335

the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

32476

for the identified illness or injury, the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region affected by the condition under consideration before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

32477the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the affected region and VEA service for the clinical worsening of atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.

32481the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the affected region and operational service for the clinical worsening of atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.

or

32480the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the affected region and eligible service for the clinical worsening of atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.

Clinical onset and operational service [32478]

32482the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the affected region was undergone is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [32479]

32483the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the affected region was undergone is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [32481]

32482the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the affected region was undergone is causally related to operational service.

32484

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 therapeutic radiation to the affected region was undergone is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [32480]

32483the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the affected region was undergone is causally related to eligible service.

32485

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 therapeutic radiation to the affected region was undergone is causally related.
