Cardiomyopathy - Generalised lipodystrophy Factor
Last reviewed for CCPS 18 July 2007.
Preliminary questions [38164]
38165 there is some evidence that generalised lipodystrophy may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
38166 the veteran has had generalised lipodystrophy at some time.
38532 — generalised lipodystrophy means a rare disturbance of fat metabolism that may be inherited (primary) or acquired (secondary).
38169 — the veteran has established the causal connection between generalised lipodystrophy and VEA service for cardiomyopathy.
38167 the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a type of generalised lipodystrophy, at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
38170 — the veteran has established the causal connection between generalised lipodystrophy and VEA service for the clinical onset of cardiomyopathy.
38172 — the veteran has established the causal connection between generalised lipodystrophy and operational service for the clinical onset of cardiomyopathy.
or
38173 — the veteran has established the causal connection between generalised lipodystrophy 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 the identified illness or injury, a type of generalised lipodystrophy, at the time of the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.38171 — the veteran has established the causal connection between generalised lipodystrophy and VEA service for the clinical worsening of cardiomyopathy.
38174 — the veteran has established the causal connection between generalised lipodystrophy and operational service for the clinical worsening of cardiomyopathy.
or
38175 — the veteran has established the causal connection between generalised lipodystrophy and eligible service for the clinical worsening of cardiomyopathy.
Clinical onset and operational service [38172]
38176 — the identified illness or injury, a type of generalised lipodystrophy, is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [38173]
38177 — the identified illness or injury, a type of generalised lipodystrophy, is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [38174]
38176 — the identified illness or injury, a type of generalised lipodystrophy, 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, a type of generalised lipodystrophy, is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [38175]
38177 — the identified illness or injury, a type of generalised lipodystrophy, 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, a type of generalised lipodystrophy, is causally related.
