Preliminary questions [20506]
there is some evidence that vitamin A consumption may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.20551 the veteran has consumed the quantities of vitamin A required by the reasonable hypothesis Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver at some time.
the veteran's consumption of the quantities of vitamin A required by the reasonable hypothesis Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver was materially contributed to by treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable.20552 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the consumption of vitamin A and VEA service for cirrhosis of the liver.
20553 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the consumption of vitamin A and VEA service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
20556 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the consumption of vitamin A and eligible service for the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.
or
20555 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the consumption of vitamin A 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.20554 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the consumption of vitamin A and VEA service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
20558 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the consumption of vitamin A and eligible service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
or
20557 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the consumption of vitamin A and operational service for the clinical worsening of cirrhosis of the liver.
Clinical onset and operational service [20555]
the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the reasonable hypothesis Statement of Principles within the ten years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.20566 — the identified illness or injury which made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the reasonable hypothesis Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [20556]
the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the balance of probabilities Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver. the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the balance of probabilities Statement of Principles within the ten years before the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver.20567 — the identified illness or injury which made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the balance of probabilities Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [20557]
the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the reasonable hypothesis Statement of Principles after the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver and within the ten years before its clinical worsening.20566 — the identified illness or injury which made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the reasonable hypothesis Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver 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 which made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the reasonable hypothesis Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [20558]
the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the balance of probabilities Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver. the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the balance of probabilities Statement of Principles after the clinical onset of cirrhosis of the liver and within the ten years before its clinical worsening.20567 — the identified illness or injury which made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the balance of probabilities Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver 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 which made a material contribution to the veteran consuming the quantities of vitamin A required by the balance of probabilities Statement of Principles for cirrhosis of the liver is causally related.
