31124

there is some evidence that atomic radiation may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

41017 the veteran has received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung at some time.

41010the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41011the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41013the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

or

41014the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and eligible 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.

41012the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and VEA service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41015the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and operational service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

or

41016the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and eligible service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

Clinical onset and operational service [41013]

41018

on operational service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung.

41022

on operational service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41026

the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease, on operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical onset and eligible service [41014]

41019

on eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung.

41021

as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung.

41023

as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41027

the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease, on eligible service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical worsening and operational service [41015]

41018

on operational service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung.

41020

as a causal result of operational service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung.

41024

as a causal result of operational service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41028

the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease, on operational service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [41016]

41019

on eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung.

41021

as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung.

41025

as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.

41029

the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease, on eligible service, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
