Preliminary questions [39333]
there is some evidence that veno-occlusive disease may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.39335 the veteran has had veno-occlusive disease at some time.
the veteran has had veno-occlusive disease for a continuous period of at least six months at some time.39337 — veno-occlusive disease means symptomatic occlusion of the sublobular branches of the hepatic veins or the small hepatic venules.
39338 — the veteran has established the causal connection between veno-occlusive disease and VEA service for cirrhosis of the liver.
39339 — the veteran has established the causal connection between veno-occlusive disease and VEA service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
39342 — the veteran has established the causal connection between veno-occlusive disease and eligible service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
or
39341 — the veteran has established the causal connection between veno-occlusive disease and operational 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.39340 — the veteran has established the causal connection between veno-occlusive disease and VEA service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
39344 — the veteran has established the causal connection between veno-occlusive disease and eligible service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
or
39343 — the veteran has established the causal connection between veno-occlusive disease and operational service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
Clinical onset and operational service [39341]
the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, for a continuous period of at least six months. the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, for a continuous period of at least six months within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.39351 — the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [39342]
the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, for a continuous period of at least twelve months. the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, for a continuous period of at least twelve months within the five years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.39352 — the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [39343]
the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, for a continuous period of at least six months. the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, for a continuous period of at least six months within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.39351 — the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, 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 identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [39344]
the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, for a continuous period of at least twelve months. the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, for a continuous period of at least twelve months within the five years before the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.39352 — the identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, 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 identified illness or injury, a veno-occlusive disease, is causally related.
