Preliminary questions [23976]
there is some evidence that a cerebral trauma due to cranial surgery may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.23978 the veteran has had a cerebral trauma through cranial surgery at some time.
the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed for treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable.23980 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma and VEA service for epilepsy.
23981 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma and VEA service for the clinical onset of epilepsy.
23983 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma and operational service for the clinical onset of epilepsy.
or
23984 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma and eligible service for the clinical onset of epilepsy.
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.23982 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma and VEA service for the clinical worsening of epilepsy.
23985 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma and operational service for the clinical worsening of epilepsy.
or
23986 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma and eligible service for the clinical worsening of epilepsy.
Clinical onset and operational service [23983]
the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical onset of epilepsy.23989 — the identified illness or injury for which cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed, is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [23984]
the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed for treatment of the identified illness or injury within the twenty years before the clinical onset of epilepsy.23990 — the identified illness or injury for which cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed, is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [23985]
the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed for treatment of the identified illness or injury within the twenty years before the clinical worsening of epilepsy.23989 — the identified illness or injury for which cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed, is causally related to operational service.
the clinical onset of epilepsy occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury for which cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed, is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [23986]
the cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed for treatment of the identified illness or injury within the twenty years before the clinical worsening of epilepsy.23990 — the identified illness or injury for which cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed, is causally related to eligible service.
the clinical onset of epilepsy occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury for which cranial surgery resulting in cerebral trauma was performed, is causally related.
