Preliminary questions [32400]
there is some evidence that streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis may be a factor in the development or worsening of psoriasis.32403 the veteran's psoriasis is the guttate form of the condition.
the veteran has suffered from streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis at some time.32404 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis and VEA service for psoriasis.
the veteran suffered from streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis within the 30 days immediately before the clinical onset of guttate psoriasis.32405 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis and VEA service for the clinical onset of psoriasis.
32407 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis and operational service for the clinical onset of psoriasis.
or
32408 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis and eligible service for the clinical onset of psoriasis.
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. the veteran suffered from streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis within the 30 days immediately before the clinical worsening of guttate psoriasis.32406 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis and VEA service for the clinical worsening of psoriasis.
32409 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis and operational service for the clinical worsening of psoriasis.
or
32410 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis and eligible service for the clinical worsening of psoriasis.
Clinical onset and operational service [32407]
32413 — the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis is causally related to operational service.
Clinical onset and eligible service [32408]
32414 — the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis is causally related to eligible service.
Clinical worsening and operational service [32409]
32413 — the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis is causally related to operational service.
the clinical onset of guttate psoriasis occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis is causally related.Clinical worsening and eligible service [32410]
32414 — the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis is causally related to eligible service.
the clinical onset of guttate psoriasis occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal tonsillitis is causally related.
