Preliminary questions [15596]

15766

there is some evidence that an intracranial space-occupying lesion may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

15698intracranial space-occupying lesion means a pathological entity occupying a delineated area within the cranial cavity, including intracranial aneurysm, cerebral cyst or intracranial neoplasm. [Default true]

15699the veteran has established the causal connection between the intracranial space-occupying lesion and VEA service for epilepsy.

15700the veteran has established the causal connection between the intracranial space-occupying lesion and VEA service for the clinical onset of epilepsy.

15703the veteran has established the causal connection between the intracranial space-occupying lesion and eligible service for the clinical onset of epilepsy.

or

15702the veteran has established the causal connection between the intracranial space-occupying lesion and operational service for the clinical onset of epilepsy.

or

7334 the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.

7335

the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

15701the veteran has established the causal connection between the intracranial space-occupying lesion and VEA service for the clinical worsening of epilepsy.

15705the veteran has established the causal connection between the intracranial space-occupying lesion and eligible service for the clinical worsening of epilepsy.

or

15704the veteran has established the causal connection between the intracranial space-occupying lesion and operational service for the clinical worsening of epilepsy.

Clinical onset and operational service [15702]

15706

the veteran had the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, before the clinical onset of epilepsy.

15708the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [15703]

34788

the veteran had the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, within the twenty years before the clinical onset of epilepsy.

15709the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [15704]

15707

the veteran had the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, before the clinical worsening of epilepsy.

15708the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, is causally related to operational service.

18561

the clinical onset of epilepsy occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [15705]

34789

the veteran had the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, within the twenty years before the clinical worsening of epilepsy.

15709the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, is causally related to eligible service.

18562

the clinical onset of epilepsy occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, an intracranial space-occupying lesion, is causally related.
