23308

the veteran experienced inhalation, ingestion or cutaneous contact with carbon disulphide on at least 250 occasions within a continuous period of five years within the 10 years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

23299the veteran has established the causal connection between exposure to carbon disulphide and VEA service for the clinical onset of parkinsonism.
