Preliminary questions [39307]
there is some evidence that Budd-Chiari syndrome may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.39309 the veteran has had Budd-Chiari syndrome at some time.
39310 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the Budd-Chiari syndrome and VEA service for cirrhosis of the liver.
39311 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the Budd-Chiari syndrome and VEA service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
39314 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the Budd-Chiari syndrome and eligible service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
or
39313 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the Budd-Chiari syndrome and operational service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
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.39312 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the Budd-Chiari syndrome and VEA service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
39316 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the Budd-Chiari syndrome and eligible service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
or
39315 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the Budd-Chiari syndrome and operational service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
Clinical onset and operational service [39313]
the veteran had Budd-Chiari syndrome for a continuous period of at least six months at some time. the veteran had Budd-Chiari syndrome for a continuous period of at least six months within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.39323 — the Budd-Chiari syndrome is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [39314]
the veteran had Budd-Chiari syndrome for a continuous period of at least twelve months at some time. the veteran had Budd-Chiari syndrome for a continuous period of at least twelve months within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.39324 — the Budd-Chiari syndrome is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [39315]
the veteran had Budd-Chiari syndrome for a continuous period of at least six months at some time. the veteran had Budd-Chiari syndrome for a continuous period of at least six months within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.39323 — the Budd-Chiari syndrome is causally related to operational service.
the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the Budd-Chiari syndrome is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [39316]
the veteran had Budd-Chiari syndrome for a continuous period of at least twelve months at some time. the veteran had Budd-Chiari syndrome for a continuous period of at least twelve months within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.39324 — the Budd-Chiari syndrome is causally related to eligible service.
the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the Budd-Chiari syndrome is causally related.
