Last reviewed for CCPS 26 August 2004.
Preliminary questions [33712]
33713 there is some evidence that a surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
33714 the veteran has undergone a surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm at some time.
33715 the veteran underwent a surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm for treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable.
33716 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm and VEA service for hiatus hernia.
33719 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm and VEA service for the clinical onset of hiatus hernia.
33717 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm and eligible service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
or
33718 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm and operational service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
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.33720 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm and VEA service for the clinical worsening of hiatus hernia.
33722 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm and eligible service for the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
or
33721 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm and operational service for the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.
Clinical onset and operational service [33718]
for treatment of the identified illness or injury, the veteran underwent a surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm within the two years immediately before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.33724 — the identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [33717]
for treatment of the identified illness or injury, the veteran underwent a surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm within the 12 months immediately before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.33725 — the identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [33721]
for treatment of the identified illness or injury, the veteran underwent a surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm within the two years immediately before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.33724 — the identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm 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 surgical procedure to the region of the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [33722]
