For the specified veterans’ benefits rule, every veteran is presumed to have been healthy when examined and accepted for service. The presumption does not cover conditions recorded at entry or conditions shown by clear and unmistakable evidence to have existed before service without being aggravated by service.

For the purposes of section 1110 of this title, every veteran must be taken to have been in sound condition when examined, accepted, and enrolled for service, except as to defects, infirmities, or disorders noted at the time of the examination, acceptance, and enrollment, or where clear and unmistakable evidence demonstrates that the injury or disease existed before acceptance and enrollment and was not aggravated by such service.
