38596 — the veteran has parkinsonism.
operational service made a material contribution to the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, to which operational service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical onset and eligible service [23281]

operational service made a material contribution to the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred before the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months, to which operational service materially contributed. the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, to which operational service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical worsening and eligible service [23283]
eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred before the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months, to which eligible service materially contributed. the veteran's exposure to manganese as specified at least once per week for a continuous period of at least 6 months within the 10 years before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration, to which eligible service materially contributed, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
