Preliminary questions [33236]
33228 there is some evidence that receiving treatment for Hodgkin's disease may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.
7429 the veteran has had Hodgkin's lymphoma at some time.
33229 the veteran received treatment for Hodgkin's disease.
the veteran received treatment for Hodgkin's disease before the clinical onset of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.33231 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the treatment for Hodgkin's disease and VEA service for the clinical onset of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
33233 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the treatment for Hodgkin's disease and eligible service for the clinical onset of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
or
33232 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the treatment for Hodgkin's disease and operational service for the clinical onset of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Clinical onset and operational service [33232]
where the veteran received treatment for Hodgkin's disease before the clinical onset of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and that treatment has ceased, the clinical onset of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurred within ten years of cessation.7434 — the Hodgkin's disease is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [33233]
where the veteran received treatment for Hodgkin's disease before the clinical onset of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and that treatment has ceased, the clinical onset of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurred within two years of cessation.7435 — the Hodgkin's disease is causally related to eligible service.
