Preliminary questions [37767]

37768 there is some evidence that a specified biomechanical abnormality involving the affected foot may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

37769 the veteran has had a specified biomechanical abnormality involving the affected foot at some time.

37770 the veteran's specified biomechanical abnormality involved side and site of the body.

37771 the veteran had the specified biomechanical abnormality involving side and site of the body as a consequence of an illness or injury which is identifiable.

37774  the veteran has established the causal connection between a specified biomechanical abnormality and VEA service for plantar fasciitis.

37772 as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran had the specified biomechanical abnormality involving side and site of the body before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

37775   the veteran has established the causal connection between a specified biomechanical abnormality and VEA service for the clinical onset of plantar fasciitis.

37777  the veteran has established the causal connection between a specified biomechanical abnormality and operational service for the clinical onset of plantar fasciitis.

or

37778  the veteran has established the causal connection between a specified biomechanical abnormality and eligible service for the clinical onset of plantar fasciitis.

or

7334     the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.

7335     the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

37773   as a consequence of the identified illness or injury, the veteran had the specified biomechanical abnormality involving side and site of the body before the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

37776   the veteran has established the causal connection between a specified biomechanical abnormality and VEA service for the clinical worsening of plantar fasciitis.

37779  the veteran has established the causal connection between a specified biomechanical abnormality and operational service for the clinical worsening of plantar fasciitis.

or

37780  the veteran has established the causal connection between a specified biomechanical abnormality and eligible service for the clinical worsening of plantar fasciitis.

Clinical onset and operational service [37777]

37781  the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the specified biomechanical abnormality involving side and site of the body, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [37778]

37782  the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the specified biomechanical abnormality involving side and site of the body, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [37779]

37781  the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the specified biomechanical abnormality involving side and site of the body, is causally related to operational service.

37783  the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the specified biomechanical abnormality involving side and site of the body, is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [37780]

37782  the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the specified biomechanical abnormality involving side and site of the body, is causally related to eligible service.

37784  the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, which resulted in the specified biomechanical abnormality involving side and site of the body, is causally related.
