Preliminary questions [33370]
there is some evidence that a hypothalamic disorder may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.21764 the veteran has suffered from a hypothalamic disorder at some time.
the veteran has suffered from a hypothalamic disorder which caused hyperphagia at some time.21766 — the hypothalamic disorder which caused hyperphagia is an illness or injury which is identifiable. [Default true]
as a result of the identified illness or injury, a hypothalamic disorder, the veteran was suffering hyperphagia at the time of the clinical onset of morbid obesity.33409 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the hypothalamic disorder which caused hyperphagia and VEA service for the clinical onset of morbid obesity.
33410 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the hypothalamic disorder which caused hyperphagia and operational service for the clinical onset of morbid obesity.
or
33411 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the hypothalamic disorder which caused hyperphagia and eligible service for the clinical onset of morbid obesity.
Clinical onset and operational service [33410]
21771 — the identified illness or injury, a hypothalamic disorder which caused hyperphagia, is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [33411]
21772 — the identified illness or injury, a hypothalamic disorder which caused hyperphagia, is causally related to eligible service.
