9               Factors that must exist
At least one of the following factors must exist before it can be said that, on the balance of probabilities, chronic solvent-induced neurocognitive disorder or death from chronic solvent-induced neurocognitive disorder is connected with the circumstances of a person's relevant service:
(1)          having a severe substance use disorder involving inhalation of a solvent from the Specified List 1 of solvents within the 5 years before the clinical onset of chronic solvent-induced neurocognitive disorder;
            Note: severe substance use disorder and Specified List 1 of solvents are defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(2)          inhaling, ingesting or having cutaneous contact with a solvent from the Specified List 2 of solvents, where inhalation occurred in an unventilated and confined space, on more days than not for a consecutive period of at least 10 years before the clinical onset of chronic solvent-induced neurocognitive disorder, and if exposure has ceased before the clinical onset of chronic solvent-induced neurocognitive disorder, then that onset occurred within 1 year of cessation;
Note: Specified List 2 of solvents is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(3)          having at least 50 episodes of acute solvent intoxication due to a solvent from the Specified List 2 of solvents within a consecutive period of 1 year before the clinical onset of chronic solvent-induced neurocognitive disorder, and where the last episode of acute solvent intoxication occurred within the 2 years before the clinical onset of chronic solvent-induced neurocognitive disorder;
            Note: acute solvent intoxication and Specified List 2 of solvents are defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(4)          having an episode of acute solvent intoxication due to a solvent from the Specified List 2 of solvents, with evidence of associated persistent brain damage on imaging, at the time of the clinical onset of chronic solvent-induced neurocognitive disorder;
            Note: acute solvent intoxication and Specified List 2 of solvents are defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(5)          inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for chronic solvent-induced neurocognitive disorder.
