Bronchiectasis - Collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung Factor
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.
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.31676 — the veteran has established the causal connection between collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung and VEA service for bronchiectasis.
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.31678 — the 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.
31681 — the 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
31682 — the 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
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. 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.31680 — the 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.
31684 — the 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
31683 — the 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]
31685 — the 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]
31686 — the 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]
31685 — the identified illness or injury that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis 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 that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [31683]
31686 — the identified illness or injury that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis 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 that caused collapse or fibrosis of the segment of the lung affected by bronchiectasis is causally related.
