Preliminary questions [1378]
there is some evidence that atomic radiation may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.24709 the veteran's malignant neoplasm of the stomach is a carcinoma of the stomach.
1776 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the stomach.
5179 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the stomach. [Default true]
or
5182 — the veteran has established the causal connection between atomic radiation and eligible service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the stomach. [Default true]
Clinical onset and operational service [5179]
the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the stomach. the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the stomach where this dose was accumulated at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's operational service made a material contribution to the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.05 Sievert of atomic radiation to the stomach 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 stomach, to which operational service made a material contribution and this 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 [5182]
the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the stomach. the veteran received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the stomach where this dose was accumulated at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's eligible service made a material contribution to the cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the stomach 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 0.5 Sievert of atomic radiation to the stomach, to which eligible service made a material contribution and this 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.
