Preliminary questions [22524]

22525 there is some evidence that an increase in the consumption of animal fat may have been a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.

22526  the veteran's consumption of animal fat increased at some time.

22527  the veteran has established the causal connection between the increase in animal fat consumption and VEA service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the prostate.

22528   the veteran has established the causal connection between the increase in animal fat consumption and operational service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the prostate.

or

22529   the veteran has established the causal connection between the increase in animal fat consumption and eligible service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the prostate.

Clinical onset and operational service [22528]

30349 the veteran increased animal fat consumption by at least 40% to at least 50 gm/day for a period of at least five years at some time.

30350 the veteran increased animal fat consumption by at least 40% to at least 50 gm/day for a period of at least five years within the twenty-five years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the prostate.

30345 the veteran's increased consumption of animal fat commenced during operational service.

30351 the increase in the veteran's consumption of animal fat as a result of operational service made a material contribution to the increased consumption by at least 40 % to at least 50 gm / day for at least five years within the twenty-five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

or

22533 the increase in the veteran's consumption of animal fat by at least 40% to at least 50 gm/day was materially contributed to by an illness or injury which is identifiable.

22633 the increase in the veteran's consumption of animal fat as a consequence of the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the increased consumption by at least 40 % to at least 50 gm / day for at least five years within the twenty-five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

22534  the identified illness or injury which caused the increased consumption of animal fat is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [22529]

30352 the veteran increased animal fat consumption by at least 40% to at least 50 gm/day for a period of at least ten years at some time.

30353 the veteran increased animal fat consumption by at least 40% to at least 50 gm/day for a period of at least ten years within the twenty-five years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the prostate.

30347 the veteran's increased consumption of animal fat commenced during eligible service.

30354 the increase in the veteran's consumption of animal fat as a result of eligible service made a material contribution to the increased consumption by at least 40 % to at least 50 gm / day for at least ten years within the twenty-five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

or

22533 the increase in the veteran's consumption of animal fat by at least 40% to at least 50 gm/day was materially contributed to by an illness or injury which is identifiable.

22634 the increase in the veteran's consumption of animal fat as a consequence of the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the increased consumption by at least 40 % to at least 50 gm / day for at least ten years within the twenty-five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

22539  the identified illness or injury which caused the increased consumption of animal fat is causally related to eligible service.
