Cardiomyopathy - Clinically apparent beriberi Factor
Last reviewed for CCPS 18 July 2007.
Preliminary questions [25257]
25258 there is some evidence that clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
25259 the veteran has had clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) at some time.
25260 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) and VEA service for cardiomyopathy.
25261 the veteran had clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
25262 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) and VEA service for the clinical onset of cardiomyopathy.
25265 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) and operational service for the clinical onset of cardiomyopathy.
or
25266 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) and eligible service for the clinical onset of cardiomyopathy.
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 had clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.25264 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) and VEA service for the clinical worsening of cardiomyopathy.
25267 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) and operational service for the clinical worsening of cardiomyopathy.
or
25268 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the clinically apparent thiamine deficiency (beriberi) and eligible service for the clinical worsening of cardiomyopathy.
Clinical onset and operational service [25265]
25269 — the beriberi is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [25266]
25270 — the beriberi is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [25267]
25269 — the beriberi 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 beriberi is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [25268]
25270 — the beriberi 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 beriberi is causally related.
