Claimant Report - Exposure to Ionising Radiation from Alpha Particles [CR9264]

Preliminary questions [39331]

39367

there is some evidence that ionising radiation to the liver may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

39368 the veteran has received ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles at some time.

39376

the veteran has received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles at some time.

39369the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and VEA service for cirrhosis of the liver.

39377

the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.

39370the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and VEA service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.

39372the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and operational service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.

or

39373the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and eligible 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.

7335

the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

39378

the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.

39371the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and VEA service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.

39374the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and operational service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.

or

39375the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and eligible service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.

Clinical onset and operational service [39372]

39379

on operational service, the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.

39386

the veteran receiving a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver, on operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical onset and eligible service [39373]

39380

on eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.

39381

as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.

39387

the veteran receiving a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver, on eligible service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical worsening and operational service [39374]

39382

on operational service, the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.

39384

as a causal result of operational service, the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.

39388

the veteran receiving a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver, on operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [39375]

39383

on eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.

39385

as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.

39389

the veteran receiving a cumulative dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of ionising radiation to the liver from internal deposition of a substance which emits alpha particles before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver, on eligible service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
