Last reviewed for CCPS 18 July 2007.
Preliminary questions [20951]
21963 there is some evidence that therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
11354 the veteran has had a course of therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum at some time.
11355 the course of therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum was given for treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable.
20952 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum and VEA service for cardiomyopathy.
the veteran underwent therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.20953 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum and VEA service for the clinical onset of cardiomyopathy.
20955 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum and operational service for the clinical onset of cardiomyopathy.
or
20956 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum 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 underwent therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.20954 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum and VEA service for the clinical worsening of cardiomyopathy.
20957 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum and operational service for the clinical worsening of cardiomyopathy.
or
20958 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum and eligible service for the clinical worsening of cardiomyopathy.
Clinical onset and operational service [20955]
11366 — the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum was given is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [20956]
11367 — the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum was given is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [20957]
11366 — the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum was given 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 therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum was given is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [20958]
11367 — the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum was given 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 therapeutic radiation to the mediastinum was given is causally related.
