Preliminary questions [1444]

30275

there is some evidence that atomic radiation may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.

33184the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia.

10884the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia. [Default true]

or

10887the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and eligible service for the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia. [Default true]

Clinical onset and operational service [10884]

31995 the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.01 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow.

31996

the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.01 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow where this dose was accumulated at least two years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

35162

the veteran's operational service made a material contribution to the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.01 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow where this dose was accumulated at least two years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

10886

the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.01 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow, to which operational service made a material contribution and this dose was accumulated at least two years before the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical onset and eligible service [10887]

32001

the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow.

32003

the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow where this dose was accumulated at least two years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

32002

the veteran's eligible service made a material contribution to the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow where this dose was accumulated at least two years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

33185

the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia occurred within 40 years after the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow was received, to which eligible service made a material contribution.

10889

the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 Sievert of atomic radiation to the bone marrow, to which eligible service made a material contribution and this dose was accumulated at least two years before the clinical onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
