I am being treated by a rheumatologist here and have had almost all of the illnesses listed diagnosed since I retired in 2001. Can I use the various records from the urologist, gastroenterologist, cardiologist, orthopod, neurologist, etc. for my claim? I already have 40% service connected. Melanie USN Ret. yes Also have you rheumatologist look at the CFS and to say if you have it. Then file for it as due to gulf war illness. you need to make sure that when you file for and of the undiagnosed illnesses, that you have " due to Gulf War Illness"

I'm currently fighting with the VA on "Gulf War Illness" They have given me 70% SC for my PTSD but seem very reluctant to give me anything for my claims of Fibro Joint Pain COPD Asthma Arthritis Skin Issues {rashes and such} and others even though i have diagnosed BY THEM and civilian Doctors over the past 15 plus years...... i have been with the DAV for years but am considering a Civilian Lawyer to fight this one.........

I have complained about many of this items to both miltary and civilian doctors. None of them came up during my formal PEB ,but are in my medical records. The VA looks at it all as one war. and so the OIF fall under the same things for the gulf war illness. The war started in Aug. of 90 and has to this date never ended. One war many operations to that war. Jim Bunker President National Gulf War Resource Center http://www.ngwrc.org Veterans Helping Veterans since 1995
