Last reviewed for CCPS 16 December 2009.
Preliminary questions [40663]
40683 there is some evidence that a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
38382 the veteran has undergone a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest at some time.
41030 the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest was undergone for treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable.
41033 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
for treatment of the identified illness or injury, the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.41034 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
41036 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest and operational service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
41037 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest 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. for treatment of the identified illness or injury, the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.41035 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest and VEA service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
41038 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest and operational service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
41039 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest and eligible service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
Clinical onset and operational service [41036]
38388 — the identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [41037]
38389 — the identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [41038]
38388 — the identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest 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 identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [41039]
38389 — the identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest 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 identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest is causally related.
