Gulf War veterans have a highly elevated risk of contracting ALS, or Lou Gherig's disease. The VA has officially recognized this link and is taking action. |
Today the AP is reporting:
An extensive epidemiological study has found Gulf War veterans are 2x more likely to develop ALS than control groups. The VA has officially announced its intention to provide special benefits to Gulf War veterans in light of this finding.
This is a dramatic development in the history of Gulf War Syndrome because it is the first officially-recognized link between the Gulf War and any specific disease.
