hi there here an update on environmental which is gulf war 90-91 i had my second exam with VA doc she went over with my result from Dec 22 09. i had posted some stuff on conditions on this page, so far this is difference from the VA disability compensation if you have sleep problem,asthma,joint pain, rash etc that is what they are looking for so they need all vet who serve in the 90-91 gulf war when you register with them it is for now and the future and if you have health problem later you can call them and make appointment with them. there is a person who with go over with your case and decide yes or no on compensation. then they will sent you a letter on the decision. and if you have other health problem let them know about it.
i ask her about we were out in Bahrain before the gulf war for the uss shark on uss acadia she had typed everything i told her on the computer. i let you all know about that.
make sure you tell them that you we outside like boat run,trash run,sound security anything that was outside we had PT run, stand watch outside
if anybody remember we had anchor in Bahrain next to some kind of plant that had black sand and it was windstorm that stuff had blow into out intake and vent we had to put cover like filter to prevent it coming in so it was inside of the ship vent. OPS,B&C,DECK was exposed to that stuff make sure they type it into the computer
sandstorm,sand-fly tell them about that too and rash that come and go etc
i hope this make sense i let you know about the decision
you can find me on face book |

Compensation & Care
As Gerald Manar, deputy director of VFW’s National Veterans Service, points out, “An undiagnosed illness is not the same as ‘Gulf War Illness or Syndrome.’
The IOM study failed to find a single new disability, or a common collection of symptoms, which could be related to the Gulf War experience.
“However, qualifying veterans can still receive benefits if they have a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromylagia, irritable bowel syndrome or a
disability which cannot be diagnosed.”
According to the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), of the 696,841 troops who served in the 1991 war zone, 14,895 had processed compensation claims for
undiagnosed illnesses as of February 2007. Of those processed, some 3,733, or 25%, were granted service connection.
A first step to care is to enroll in the Gulf War Medical Exam Program and complete the free medical check-up. Neither a current illness nor VA enrollment is
required. Nearly 100,000 vets have done so to date.
“The proactive approach by the VA in identifying, qualifying and treating Gulf War veterans is a step in the right direction,” says Jim Willis, director of
the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs. “I would encourage all Gulf War veterans to seek the medical assistance they need and to register with the VA as
soon as possible.”
The presumptive period for granting compensation expires Dec. 31, 2011.
Over a five-year period, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center could spend up to $75 million on related research. The federal grants will allow
the center’s Gulf War Research Area to conduct and manage projects. Also, there is an advanced brain-imaging facility there. The university center
collaborates with the Dallas VA Medical Center.
Moreover, $10 million will be spent on a survey of 10,000 vets regarding symptoms and to study the brains of hundreds who are currently suffering from
various ailments.
“The quest for treatment and compensation for the mysterious illnesses afflicting a significant portion of Persian Gulf War vets has been long and
difficult,” says Bill Bradshaw, director of VFW’s National Veterans Service. “But VFW is in it for the long haul until the medical questions are
satisfactorily answered.”
More information for Gulf War veterans is available at www.va.gov/gulfwar, or call the VA Gulf War Helpline at 1-800-PGW-VETS (1-800-749-8387).
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms attributed to this syndrome have been wide-ranging, including chronic fatigue, loss of muscle control, headaches, dizziness and loss of balance,
memory problems, muscle and joint pain, indigestion, skin problems, shortness of breath, and even insulin resistance. Brain cancer deaths, amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia are now recognized by the Defense and Veterans Affairs
departments as potentially connected to service during the Gulf War.[3]
