Preliminary questions [40653]
there is some evidence that evidence of sensitisation to beryllium may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.40708 — the veteran has berylliosis.
the veteran has clinical evidence of sensitisation to beryllium by positive findings on beryllium lymphocyte proliferation testing of blood or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.40712 — the veteran has established the causal connection between having evidence of sensitisation to beryllium and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
the veteran was exposed to beryllium dust or fumes before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.40713 — the veteran has established the causal connection between having evidence of sensitisation to beryllium and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
40715 — the veteran has established the causal connection between having evidence of sensitisation to beryllium and operational service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
40716 — the veteran has established the causal connection between having evidence of sensitisation to beryllium 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. the veteran was exposed to beryllium dust or fumes after the clinical onset and before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.40714 — the veteran has established the causal connection between having evidence of sensitisation to beryllium and VEA service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
40717 — the veteran has established the causal connection between having evidence of sensitisation to beryllium and operational service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
40718 — the veteran has established the causal connection between having evidence of sensitisation to beryllium and eligible service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
Clinical onset and operational service [40715]
on operational service, the veteran was exposed to beryllium dust or fumes before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. the exposure to beryllium dust or fumes 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 [40716]
on eligible service, the veteran was exposed to beryllium dust or fumes before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran was exposed to beryllium dust or fumes before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. the exposure to beryllium dust or fumes 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 [40717]
on operational service, the veteran was exposed to beryllium dust or fumes after the clinical onset and before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. as a causal result of operational service, the veteran was exposed to beryllium dust or fumes after the clinical onset and before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. the exposure to beryllium dust or fumes 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 [40718]
on eligible service, the veteran was exposed to beryllium dust or fumes after the clinical onset and before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran was exposed to beryllium dust or fumes after the clinical onset and before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. the exposure to beryllium dust or fumes 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.
