Death from benign prostatic hyperplasia
 1.           For the purposes of this Statement of Principles, benign prostatic hyperplasia, in relation to a person, includes death from a terminal event or condition that was contributed to by the person's benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Note: terminal event is defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.
 1.                Basis for determining the factors
On the sound medical‑scientific evidence available, the Repatriation Medical Authority is of the view that it is more probable than not that benign prostatic hyperplasia and death from benign prostatic hyperplasia can be related to relevant service rendered by veterans or members of the Forces under the VEA, or members under the MRCA.
Note: MRCA, relevant service and VEA are defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.
 1.                Factors that must exist
The following factor must exist before it can be said that, on the balance of probabilities, benign prostatic hyperplasia or death from benign prostatic hyperplasia is connected with the circumstances of a person's relevant service:
 1.           inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for benign prostatic hyperplasia before clinical worsening.
 1.            Relationship to service
        1.           The existence in a person of the factor referred to in section 9, must be related to the relevant service rendered by the person.
        2.           The factor set out in subsection 9(1) applies only to material contribution to, or aggravation of, benign prostatic hyperplasia where the person's benign prostatic hyperplasia was suffered or contracted before or during (but did not arise out of) the person's relevant service.
 2.            Factors referring to an injury or disease covered by another Statement of Principles
In this Statement of Principles:
 1.           if a factor referred to in section 9 applies in relation to a person; and
 2.           that factor refers to an injury or disease in respect of which a Statement of Principles has been determined under subsection 196B(3) of the VEA;
then the factors in that Statement of Principles apply in accordance with the terms of that Statement of Principles as in force from time to time.
