Preliminary questions [8802]
there is some evidence that atomic radiation may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.36406 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.
36407 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.
or
36408 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and eligible service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the breast.
Clinical onset and operational service [36407]
36409 the veteran has received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the affected breast at some time.
the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the affected breast where this dose was accumulated at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. operational service made a material contribution to the veteran receiving a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the affected breast where this dose was accumulated at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the affected breast, to which operational service made a material contribution and the dose was accumulated at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical onset and eligible service [36408]
the veteran has received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the affected breast at some time. the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the affected breast where this dose was accumulated at least ten years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran receiving a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the affected breast where this dose was accumulated at least ten years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the affected breast, to which eligible service made a material contribution and the dose was accumulated at least ten years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
