Preliminary questions [15092]
there is some evidence that a significant head injury may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.15166 the veteran has had a significant head injury at some time.
15168 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the significant head injury and VEA service for conductive hearing loss.
the veteran suffered a significant head injury within thirty days immediately before the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.15169 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the significant head injury and VEA service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.
15171 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the significant head injury and operational service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.
or
15172 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the significant head injury and eligible service for the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss.
or
the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service. the veteran's conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body permanently worsened. the veteran suffered a significant head injury within thirty days immediately before the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body.15170 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the significant head injury and VEA service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.
15173 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the significant head injury and operational service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.
or
15174 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the significant head injury and eligible service for the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss.
Clinical onset and operational service [15171]
the veteran suffered the significant head injury within thirty days immediately before the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body, on operational service. the significant head injury to side and site of the body within thirty days immediately before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, on operational service was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.or
the significant head injury was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable. the significant head injury before the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.15181 — the identified illness or injury that caused the significant head injury is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [15172]
the veteran suffered the significant head injury within thirty days immediately before the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body, on eligible service. the veteran suffered the significant head injury within thirty days immediately before the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body, on eligible service, as a causal result of eligible service duties. the significant head injury to side and site of the body within thirty days immediately before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, on eligible service was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.or
the significant head injury was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable. the significant head injury before the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.15182 — the identified illness or injury that caused the significant head injury is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [15173]
the veteran suffered the significant head injury within thirty days immediately before the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body, on operational service. the veteran suffered the significant head injury within thirty days immediately before the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body, on operational service as a causal result of operational service duties. the significant head injury to side and site of the body within thirty days immediately before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, on operational service was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.or
the significant head injury was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable. the significant head injury before the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.15181 — the identified illness or injury that caused the significant head injury is causally related to operational service.
the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury that caused the significant head injury, is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [15174]
the veteran suffered the significant head injury within thirty days immediately before the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body, on eligible service. the veteran suffered the significant head injury within thirty days immediately before the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body, on eligible service, as a causal result of eligible service duties. the significant head injury to side and site of the body within thirty days immediately before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, on eligible service was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.or
the significant head injury was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable. the significant head injury before the clinical worsening of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.15182 — the identified illness or injury that caused the significant head injury is causally related to eligible service.
the clinical onset of conductive hearing loss of side and site of the body occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury that caused the significant head injury, is causally related.
