Preliminary questions [13637]
there is some evidence that pipe smoking may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.13707 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the pipe smoking and VEA service for carotid arterial disease.
13708 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the pipe smoking and VEA service for the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease.
13710 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the pipe smoking and operational service for the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease.
or
13711 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the pipe smoking and eligible service for the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease.
or
7334 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.13709 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the pipe smoking and VEA service for the clinical worsening of carotid arterial disease.
13712 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the pipe smoking and operational service for the clinical worsening of carotid arterial disease.
or
13713 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the pipe smoking and eligible service for the clinical worsening of carotid arterial disease.
Clinical onset and operational service [13710]
the veteran has smoked at least 15 pack years of pipe tobacco before the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease and, where smoking has ceased, the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease occurred within 30 years of cessation.4911 — the veteran has some period or periods of pipe smoking that are causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [13711]
the veteran has smoked at least 20 pack years of pipe tobacco before the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease and, where smoking has ceased, the clinical onset of carotid arterial disease occurred within 30 years of cessation.4913 — the veteran has some period or periods of pipe smoking that are causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [13712]
the veteran has smoked at least 15 pack years of pipe tobacco before the clinical worsening of carotid arterial disease and, where smoking has ceased, the clinical worsening of carotid arterial disease occurred within 30 years of cessation.4911 — the veteran has some period or periods of pipe smoking that are causally related to operational service.
the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the period or periods of pipe smoking are causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [13713]
