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.

40775the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40776the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40779the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and eligible service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

or

40778the 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.

7335

the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

40777the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and VEA service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40781the veteran has established the causal connection between acute silicosis and eligible service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

or

40780the 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]

40782

the veteran had acute silicosis within the six months before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40786the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [40779]

40783

the veteran had acute silicosis within the three months before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40787the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [40780]

40784

the veteran had acute silicosis after the clinical onset and within the six months before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40786the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related to operational service.

40788

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]

40785

the veteran had acute silicosis after the clinical onset and within the three months before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

40787the veteran's acute silicosis is causally related to eligible service.

40789

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.
