20601

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.

25661

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.

20607

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.
