Last reviewed for CCPS 10 March 1995.
Preliminary questions [8154]
8603 [1] there is some evidence that a connective tissue disease may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.
8184 — the veteran has suffered from a connective tissue disease at some time.
6563 [2] the veteran has had scleroderma at some time.
or
8615 [3] the veteran has had Sjogren's syndrome at some time.
or
2576 [4] the veteran has had systemic lupus erythematosus at some time. or
or
8617 [6] the veteran has had mixed connective tissue disease at some time.
8186 [7] the veteran suffered from the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disease, prior to the clinical onset of trigeminal neuralgia. [8]
8187 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disease, and operational service for the clinical onset of trigeminal neuralgia.

8188 — the identified illness or injury, a connective tissue disease, is causally related to operational service. [9]
