Non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease - Therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta Factor
Last reviewed for CCPS 05 April 2002.
Preliminary questions [27869]
27870 there is some evidence that therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.
27871 the condition under consideration is aortic occlusive disease.
the veteran has undergone a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta at some time.28151 the veteran has undergone a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta affected by the condition under consideration at some time.
27873 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and VEA service for non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.
27874 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and VEA service for the clinical onset of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.
27878 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and operational service for the clinical onset of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.
or
27879 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and eligible service for the clinical onset of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.
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. the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.27877 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and VEA service for the clinical worsening of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.
27880 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and operational service for the clinical worsening of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.
or
27881 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the therapeutic radiation and eligible service for the clinical worsening of non-aneurysmal aortic atherosclerotic disease.
Clinical onset and operational service [27878]
on operational service, the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta affected by the condition under consideration. on operational service, the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.or
the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta affected by the condition under consideration as treatment for an illness or injury which is identifiable. the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.27885 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [27879]
the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the aorta affected by the condition under consideration as treatment for an illness or injury which is identifiable. the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta for treatment of the identified illness or injury before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.27886 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [27880]
27885 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, 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 course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [27881]
27886 — the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related to eligible service.
the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the affected aorta was undergone, is causally related.
