True or False: Only conditions listed in 38 CFR 3.311(b)(2) may be recognized for veterans exposed to ionizing radiation.

The statement is false because veterans may have other conditions that are not specifically listed in 38 CFR 3.311(b)(2) that could also be acknowledged as service-connected disabilities resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation. While 38 CFR 3.311(b)(2) does outline a specific list of conditions that are automatically considered related to radiation exposure, the regulation does allow for the possibility of establishing service connection for other conditions through additional evidence or documentation.

This means that if a veteran can provide sufficient medical evidence showing that their condition is due to ionizing radiation exposure, even if it is not explicitly mentioned in the regulation, it may still be recognized. Thus, the scope of recognizing conditions related to ionizing radiation exposure is broader than just those listed in the regulation, allowing for a more comprehensive consideration of each veteran's circumstances and health status.
