Clinical onset and operational service [20700]
the veteran consumed at least the amount of alcohol specified in the reasonable hypothesis Statements of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver within any ten year period before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver. operational service made a material contribution to the veteran's consumption of at least the amount of alcohol specified in the reasonable hypothesis Statements of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver within any ten year period before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver. the veteran's consumption of at least the amount of alcohol specified in the reasonable hypothesis Statements of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver within any ten year period before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, which was materially contributed by operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical onset and eligible service [20701]

the veteran consumed at least the amount of alcohol specified in the reasonable hypothesis Statements of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver after the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver and within any ten year period before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. operational service made a material contribution to the veteran's consumption of at least the amount of alcohol specified in the reasonable hypothesis Statements of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver after the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver and within any ten year period before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver was before the operational service which caused a material contribution to alcohol consumption as specified in the reasonable hypothesis Statement of Principles for the worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. the veteran's consumption of at least the amount of alcohol specified in the reasonable hypothesis Statements of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver within any ten year period before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, which was materially contributed by operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical worsening and eligible service [20703]
the veteran consumed at least the amount of alcohol specified in the balance of probabilities Statements of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver after the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver and within any ten year period before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran's consumption of at least the amount of alcohol specified in the balance of probabilities Statements of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver after the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver and within any ten year period before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver was before the eligible service which caused a material contribution to alcohol consumption as specified in the balance of probabilities Statement of Principles for the worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. the veteran's consumption of at least the amount of alcohol specified in the balance of probabilities Statements of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver within any ten year period before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, which was materially contributed by eligible service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
