Preliminary questions [36594]
there is some evidence that an inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.36602 the veteran was unable to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs for a continuous period of at least 5 years at some time.
the veteran's inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs for a continuous period of at least 5 years was materially contributed to by an illness or injury which is identifiable.36595 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs and VEA service for osteoporosis.
36596 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs and VEA service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.
36599 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs and eligible service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.
or
36598 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs and operational service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.
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.36597 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs and VEA service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.
36601 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs and eligible service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.
or
36600 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs and operational service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.
Clinical onset and operational service [36598]
the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran's inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs for a continuous period of at least five years within the ten years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.33538 — the identified illness or injury which prevented the veteran from undertaking any physical activity greater than 3 METs is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [36599]
the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran's inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs for at least ten years. the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran's inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs for at least the ten years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.33537 — the identified illness or injury which prevented the veteran from undertaking any physical activity greater than 3 METs is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [36600]
the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran's inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs for a continuous period of at least five years after the clinical onset and within the ten years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.33538 — the identified illness or injury which prevented the veteran from undertaking any physical activity greater than 3 METs 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 that prevented the veteran from undertaking any physical activity greater than 3 METs is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [36601]
the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran's inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs for at least ten years. the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the veteran's inability to undertake any physical activity greater than 3 METs after the clinical onset and for at least the ten years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.33537 — the identified illness or injury which prevented the veteran from undertaking any physical activity greater than 3 METs 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 that prevented the veteran from undertaking any physical activity greater than 3 METs is causally related.
