Claimant Report - Exposure to Atomic Radiation [CR9171]
Preliminary questions [40664]
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.
41010 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
41011 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
41013 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
41014 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and eligible service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
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.41012 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and VEA service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
41015 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the atomic radiation and operational service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
41016 — the 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]
on operational service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung. 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. 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]
on eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung. 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. 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. 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]
on operational service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung. 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. 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. 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]
on eligible service, the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.4 Sievert of atomic radiation to the lung. 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. 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. 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.
