Fibrosing interstitial lung disease - Acute silicosis Factor
Last reviewed for CCPS 16 December 2009.
Preliminary questions [40656]
40678 there is some evidence that acute silicosis may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
40774 the veteran has had acute silicosis at some time.
40775 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
40776 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
40779 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and eligible service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
40778 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and operational service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
7334 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.40777 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and VEA service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
40781 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and eligible service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
40780 — the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and operational service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
Clinical onset and operational service [40778]
the veteran had acute silicosis within the six months before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.40786 — the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [40779]
the veteran had acute silicosis within the three months before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.40787 — the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [40780]
the veteran had acute silicosis after the clinical onset and within the six months before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.40786 — the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related to operational service.
the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [40781]
the veteran had acute silicosis after the clinical onset and within the three months before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.40787 — the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related to eligible service.
the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related.
