Sensorineural hearing loss - Systemic immune mediated disorder Factor

These are a group of disorders thought to be mediated by the deposition of immune complexes in various body tissues.  The disorders associated with sensorineural hearing loss are:

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (ICD 710.0)
  • Polyarteritis nodosa (periarteritis nodosa) (ICD 446.0)
  • Wegener's granulomatosis (ICD 446.4)
  • Cogan's syndrome (ICD 370.52)
  • Behcet's disease (ICD 136.1)

Preliminary questions [14410]

14738 there is some evidence that a systemic immune mediated disorder may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

14484  the veteran has suffered from a systemic immune mediated disorder at some time.

2576     the veteran has had systemic lupus erythematosus at some time.

or

12636 the veteran has had polyarteritis nodosa at some time.

or

10037 the veteran has had Wegener's granulomatosis at some time.

or

14486 the veteran has had Cogan's syndrome at some time.

or

12635 the veteran has had Behcet's disease at some time.

14487  the veteran has established the causal connection between the systemic immune mediated disorder and VEA service for sensorineural hearing loss.

14494 the veteran was suffering from the identified illness or injury, a systemic immune mediated disorder, at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.

14488   the veteran has established the causal connection between the systemic immune mediated disorder and VEA service for the clinical onset of sensorineural hearing loss.

14490  the veteran has established the causal connection between the systemic immune mediated disorder and operational service for the clinical onset of sensorineural hearing loss.

or

14491  the veteran has established the causal connection between the systemic immune mediated disorder and eligible service for the clinical onset of sensorineural hearing loss.

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.

14495 the veteran was suffering from the identified illness or injury, a systemic immune mediated disorder, at the time of the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration.

14489   the veteran has established the causal connection between the systemic immune mediated disorder and VEA service for the clinical worsening of sensorineural hearing loss.

14492  the veteran has established the causal connection between the systemic immune mediated disorder and operational service for the clinical worsening of sensorineural hearing loss.

or

14493  the veteran has established the causal connection between the systemic immune mediated disorder and eligible service for the clinical worsening of sensorineural hearing loss.

Clinical onset and operational service [14490]

14496  the identified illness or injury, a systemic immune mediated disorder, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [14491]

14497  the identified illness or injury, a systemic immune mediated disorder, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [14492]

14496  the identified illness or injury, a systemic immune mediated disorder, is causally related to operational service.

14498 the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, a systemic immune mediated disorder, is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [14493]

14497  the identified illness or injury, a systemic immune mediated disorder, is causally related to eligible service.

14499 the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, a systemic immune mediated disorder, is causally related.
