Investigative Documents
Preliminary questions [23254]
there is some evidence that a space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.23360 the veteran has had a space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem at some time.
23370 — the space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem is an illness or injury which is identifiable.
23361 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem and VEA service for Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism.
23362 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem and VEA service for the clinical onset of parkinsonism.
23365 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem and eligible service for the clinical onset of parkinsonism.
or
23364 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem and operational service for the clinical onset of parkinsonism.
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.23363 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem and VEA service for the clinical worsening of Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism.
23367 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem and eligible service for the clinical worsening of Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism.
or
23366 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem and operational service for the clinical worsening of Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism.
Clinical onset and operational service [23364]
38596 — the veteran has parkinsonism.
the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem, within the 90 days before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.23371 — the identified illness or injury, a space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem, is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [23365]
38596 — the veteran has parkinsonism.
the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem, at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.23372 — the identified illness or injury, a space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem, is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [23366]
the veteran had the identified illness or injury, a space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem, within the 90 days before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.23371 — the identified illness or injury, a space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem, 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, a space occupying lesion affecting the brainstem, is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [23367]
