Preliminary questions [40662]
there is some evidence that inhaling mustard gas may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.40912 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling mustard gas and VEA service for fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
40919 the veteran inhaled mustard gas within the 20 years before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
40913 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling mustard gas and VEA service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
40915 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling mustard gas and operational service for the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
40916 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling mustard gas 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 inhaled mustard gas within the 20 years before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.40914 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling mustard gas and VEA service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
40917 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling mustard gas and operational service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
or
40918 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhaling mustard gas and eligible service for the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease.
Clinical onset and operational service [40915]
on operational service, the veteran inhaled mustard gas within the 20 years before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. the veteran's inhalation of mustard gas within the 20 years 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 [40916]
on eligible service, the veteran inhaled mustard gas within the 20 years before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran inhaled mustard gas within the 20 years before the clinical onset of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. the veteran's inhalation of mustard gas within the 20 years 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 [40917]
on operational service, the veteran inhaled mustard gas within the 20 years before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. as a causal result of operational service, the veteran inhaled mustard gas within the 20 years before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. the veteran's inhalation of mustard gas within the 20 years 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 [40918]
on eligible service, the veteran inhaled mustard gas within the 20 years before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. as a causal result of eligible service, the veteran inhaled mustard gas within the 20 years before the clinical worsening of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. the veteran's inhalation of mustard gas within the 20 years 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.
