the veteran has suffered a trauma to the pancreas which resulted in complete or partial obstruction of the ductal system draining the secretions of the exocrine pancreas.

10479

the trauma to the pancreas resulted in complete or partial obstruction of the ductal system draining the secretions of the exocrine pancreas at the time of the clinical onset of the chronic pancreatitis.

Clinical onset and operational service [10481]

10483

on operational service, the veteran suffered a trauma to the pancreas resulting in complete or partial obstruction of the ductal system draining the secretions of the exocrine pancreas at the time of the clinical onset of the chronic pancreatitis.

10484

the trauma to the pancreas resulting in complete or partial obstruction of the ductal system draining the secretions of the exocrine pancreas at the time of the clinical onset of the chronic pancreatitis, on operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
