Investigative Documents
Preliminary questions [37637]
there is some evidence that treatment with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.37642 the veteran was treated with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids, at a dose equivalent to at least 10 milligrams per day of prednisolone, for a continuous period of at least two weeks at some time.
the veteran was treated with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids, at a dose equivalent to at least 10 milligrams per day of prednisolone, for a continuous period of at least two weeks for an illness or injury which is identifiable.37639 — the veteran has established the causal connection between treatment with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids and operational service for gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer.
for the identified illness or injury, the veteran was treated with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids, at a dose equivalent to at least 10 milligrams per day of prednisolone, for a continuous period of at least two weeks within the two months before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.37640 — the veteran has established the causal connection between treatment with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids and operational service for the clinical onset of gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer.
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 the identified illness or injury, the veteran was treated with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids, at a dose equivalent to at least 10 milligrams per day of prednisolone, for a continuous period of at least two weeks within the two months before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.37641 — the veteran has established the causal connection between treatment with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids and operational service for the clinical worsening of gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer.
Clinical onset and operational service [37640]
37646 — the identified illness or injury, for which the veteran was treated with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids, at a dose equivalent to at least 10 milligrams per day of prednisolone, for a continuous period of at least two weeks, is causally related to operational service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [37641]
37646 — the identified illness or injury, for which the veteran was treated with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids, at a dose equivalent to at least 10 milligrams per day of prednisolone, for a continuous period of at least two weeks, 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 was treated with non-topical non-inhaled corticosteroids, at a dose equivalent to at least 10 milligrams per day of prednisolone, for a continuous period of at least two weeks, is causally related.
