Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) when there is evidence “to establish that an intercurrent injury or disease which is a recognized cause of [the chronic disease for which service connection is sought] has been suffered between the date of separation from ' service and the onset of any such disease[ ]”; or (2) when there is other “affirmative evidence to the contrary [of the presumption of service connection]”, within the meaning of section 1113(a) and § 3.307(d) that “would ... support a conclusion that the disease was not incurred in service.””
