Preliminary questions [20508]
there is some evidence that exposure to carbon tetrachloride may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.20585 the veteran has experienced inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride at some time.
20586 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to carbon tetrachloride and VEA service for cirrhosis of the liver.
20587 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to carbon tetrachloride and VEA service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
20589 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to carbon tetrachloride and operational service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
or
20590 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to carbon tetrachloride and eligible service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
or
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.20588 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to carbon tetrachloride and VEA service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
20591 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to carbon tetrachloride and operational service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
or
20592 — the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to carbon tetrachloride and eligible service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
Clinical onset and operational service [20589]
the veteran experienced inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 500 hours at some time. the veteran experienced inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 500 hours within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver. operational service made a material contribution to the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 500 hours within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver. the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 500 hours within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver, to which operational service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical onset and eligible service [20590]
the veteran experienced inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 1000 hours at some time. the veteran experienced inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 1000 hours within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver. eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 1000 hours within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver. the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 1000 hours within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver, to which eligible service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical worsening and operational service [20591]
the veteran experienced inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 500 hours at some time. the veteran experienced inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 500 hours within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. operational service made a material contribution to the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 500 hours within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver occurred prior to the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 500 hours within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver, to which operational service materially contributed. the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 500 hours within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver, to which operational service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical worsening and eligible service [20592]
the veteran experienced inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 1000 hours at some time. the veteran experienced inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 1000 hours within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 1000 hours within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver. the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver occurred prior to the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 1000 hours within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver, to which eligible service materially contributed. the veteran experiencing inhalation or cutaneous contact with carbon tetrachloride for a cumulative period of at least 1000 hours within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver, to which eligible service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
