Last reviewed for CCPS 16 December 2009.

Preliminary questions [31671]

31672 there is some evidence that collapse or fibrosis of a segment of a lung may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

31673 the veteran has had collapse or fibrosis of a segment of a lung at some time.

31674 the veteran had collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis.

31675

the veteran had collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis as a consequence of an illness or injury which is identifiable.

31676the veteran has established the causal connection between collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung and VEA service for bronchiectasis.

31677

as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran had collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

31678the veteran has established the causal connection between collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung and VEA service for the clinical onset of bronchiectasis.

31681the veteran has established the causal connection between collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung and operational service for the clinical onset of bronchiectasis.

or

31682the veteran has established the causal connection between collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung and eligible service for the clinical onset of bronchiectasis.

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.

31679

as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran had collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

31680the veteran has established the causal connection between collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung and VEA service for the clinical worsening of bronchiectasis.

31684the veteran has established the causal connection between collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung and operational service for the clinical worsening of bronchiectasis.

or

31683the veteran has established the causal connection between collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung and eligible service for the clinical worsening of bronchiectasis.

Clinical onset and operational service [31681]

31685the identified illness or injury that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [31682]

31686the identified illness or injury that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [31684]

31685the identified illness or injury that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis is causally related to operational service.

31687

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [31683]

31686the identified illness or injury that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis is causally related to eligible service.

31688

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis is causally related.
