Claimant Report - Exposure to Ionising Radiation from Alpha Particles [CR9264]
Preliminary questions [39331]
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.
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.39369 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and VEA service for cirrhosis of the liver.
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.39370 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and VEA service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
39372 — the 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
39373 — the 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
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. 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.39371 — the veteran has established the causal connection between ionising radiation to the liver and VEA service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
39374 — the 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
39375 — the 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]
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. 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]
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. 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. 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]
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. 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. 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]
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. 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. 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.
