or
32736 — the veteran has established the causal connection between a viral, bacterial or protozoal infection and eligible service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
Clinical onset and operational service [32735]
32733 [11] the veteran was suffering from the identified illness or injury, a viral, bacterial or protozoal infection for peripheral neuropathy, at the time of the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. 32737 — the identified illness or injury, a viral, bacterial or protozoal infection for peripheral neuropathy, is causally related to operational service. [12] [13] Clinical onset and eligible service [32736]
32738 — the identified illness or injury, a viral, bacterial or protozoal infection for peripheral neuropathy, is causally related to eligible service. [16] [13]
