Been out since 2004. OIF/OEF veteran. Had no idea about Gulf War Presumptive until recently. Guess I'd be screwed with trying to get these migraines, cardiovascular, skin conditions and chronic fatigue rated. Luckily I got rated hundo p&t for another condition. SAPPERS FOWARD!
Hey, as long as you're 100% P&T, you'll be taken care of. ☺️ Congratulations!

70% already , working on 💯!
I take it personal when people think , I just got handed this . I served and went thru a lot . The 1% to do it. I spent thousands on medical exams , MRI’s, x rays , appointments to get this benefit . You can’t make it up if the evidence shows. So I rather have my health then money but that was the price to serve and was willing too. Veterans get your stuff you earned it .
BOOM! We couldn’t agree more!
I’ve been steep on from the military along with my military family I still want to get even at the traitor of military leadership .. Thank you
Hello bert collard I am a VA Claims Insider Team Member, how can I help you today?
I got a 30% rating for GERD after 25 years after I out. So claim it let them say no.
We're glad you're getting the benefits you deserve!
im tdiu right now @ 70% for ptsd, but papers say im 100% disabled with no more exams. should i now put in a claim for all these other wacky symptoms im having with pact act in place or not even worry about it ?
If you're getting 100% P&T benefits and compensation, you're receiving the maximum amount you can! We advise against opening your rating up for reevaluation.

If I was diagnosed with rhinitis by my primary care in 2017 I am oif vet and I decided to file a claim for it cause I didn’t know it was something I could claim till last year and I have really bad sinus infection several times a year so I filled out a claim and they want to send me to a private urgent care clinic to get diagnosed but it’s over a hour away went to first appointment on a Saturday the provider didn’t show up and the next appointment was when I had Covid just wondering why my first diagnosis isn’t sufficient enough or is it and they aren’t really looking at my records

My father got gulf war syndrome and is disabled for years now.
A few months after he got his first symptoms and started to get really sick, I got a massive fever, I was hardly ever sick.
After that I stayed tired having brain fog, and having similar symptoms as my dad, like insomnia, indigestion, weak joints, memory problems, and much more.
It’s now many years later and still the doctors can’t find out what’s wrong with me.
Then gulf war syndrome came up in a article online, saying it might be contagious, I’m afraid I might have it to.
Is there any blood test I can do that will show if I got the gulf war syndrome to?
Unfortunately there is not a blood test, it is diagnosed through symptoms.
You are incorrect about the "10 years from ETS". You could be diagnosed with Irritable bowel (IBS), Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue today and it would still be eligible.
Yeah it seems pretty arbitrary to allow the presumptives for IBS etc. but require the 10 yr window for the other asthma, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis when the same exposures cause those conditions as well
I have both types I am about to run up the flag pole and test both statements out. Will let everyone know what I see.
Hey C Long, let us know if there is anything VACI can do to help!
Not for the new presumptives,as I said
I’ve been out since ‘92 and was granted 30% for IBS Oct 2021.
Been struggling to get the VA to recognize some of these conditions as presumptive I have them I been treated at the VA for them since I was medically discharged. But when I claim them I get claims denied.
I get all my care at the VA the VA providers will Not do a DBQ will not write nexus letters.
80 percent of all GW claims denied so that matches. VA doesn't understand their own GW rules. Lawyer up or let these folks help you. Fight the VA tooth and nail.

Thanks for all the great info! Persian Gulf War veteran here. Had a sleep study done and was diagnosed with severe mixed sleep apnea before 31 Dec 2021 and prescribed a CPAP machine and therapy. What is the latest on the Presumptive route for SC using the “sleep disturbances” or “respiratory problems” symptoms that fall under the “Undiagnosed Illness” category. I hear/read many stories of denial for sleep apnea - even with confirmed diagnosis/CPAP issuance - under those symptoms. I understand that sleep apnea in and of itself is not a “Presumptive” condition, but shouldn’t it be able to get Service Connection by virtue of it being a “sleep disturbance” which is one of the actual listed symptoms in the “Undiagnosed illness” category of the Persian Gulf War Presumptive conditions? Have you, or anyone reading this, heard of anyone successfully claiming sleep apnea under the Presumptive process? Thanks!

USMC 2009-2013 Kuwait Bahrain field radio. I was diagnosed with migraines 7 months after separation, is this now considered 12:13 presumed service connected now?
Hi there! You can read the updated list here! > vaclaimsinsider.com/pact-act-presumptive-conditions-list/
So it depends how they view they disability and if it fall us under the 10% rating then yes your denial letter should say whether it’s presumptive, (38 USC )I’ve got claims approved for presumptive service connection (Major depression)and claims denied for presumptive service connection (headaches) because it didn’t meet the 10% disability requirements
Army and Desert Storm. Lots of burn pit and oil fire exposure along with all the battlefield environmental issues encountered with the 2ACR. I have Fibromyalgia, chronic pain, brain fog, and chronic fatigue to name a few. I put in a claim and it was denied by McGuire VA because I could not prove it was service related. Evidently it is all in my head. I don't think the VA knows what "presumptive" means. Needless to say, this caused me to become depressed and not very happy. All I can do is curse the VA and live with it. I fall under the VA's "Wait for the problem to die" policy. SO, fuck the VA.

Is brain fog just called like that or is there a more technical name?
Most refer to it as brain fog.
I’m a gulf war vet with many issues related to gulf war syndrome . Problem is the va never likes to give diagnosis for most things . I’ve been seen for years for my chronic fatigue , dozens of tests done to find out why they will never diagnose it as chronic fatigue syndrome . Without the diagnosis you can’t win claim .
Hello scorpiogrrl9 Are you trying to increase your current VA Rating and compensation?
you mentioned it gulf war vets are those who served up to dec 31, 2021…has that date been extended? i am currently serving in the gulf at this moment so will i be able to claim presumptives? thank you
December 31st, 2026 is the new deadline 😁
I am looking for any veterans going through similar experiences as myself. So far, I haven't found any.
Hey Lustitia, what issues are you having?
Hello, is the time limit for presumptive 10 years from when you left the area, or ten years from your retirement date, if you retired.
If you meet the requirements, you can get free VA health care for any condition related to your service for up to 10 years from the date of your most recent discharge or separation.
I've been dealing with Gulf War Presumptives Allergic Rhinitus & gut symptoms and noting my symptoms via VA secure messaging and prescribed medicine. My blue button report lists Problems within my record but I dont know if that is an official diagnosis. Knowing that the nexus is me being deployed in the Middle East area, would all of the listed items suffice for claiming for VA presumptives claim? Thank you.

Love this video, great info. I have 4 tours. Kuwait 04, Iraq 05 & 07, and Afghanistan 11. I'm currently 80% but waiting on lots of other appeals (video conference hearing) that should bump me up to 100%.
I'm frustrated though. I was diagnosed with severe obstructed sleep apnea and issued a cpap. I was service connected for sleep apnea due to gulf War but they only gave me 0%. My attorney and myself is completely confused why. It's on the appeal but just pisses me off. I did the sleep conditions due to GW back in 2013 but they did the sleep apnea to 2017. Its a mess.

Looks like I missed out on my Gulf War chronic fatigue. I never felt like I wanted to put in a claim for anyting.. but now some of my old aircrew buddies are telling me they're filing claim on issues.. I only served 22 years. But the symptoms are here and now. Skin Cancers and other things. Fatigue, I was in golf 1 Gulf to Southeast Asia three tours. I assume my skin issues came from hydraulic exposure jp4 exposure and wash rack.. when I started out I was a crew chief F-4D. Being young and dumb I got exposed to all those things. Couldn't wash them out of the fatigues no matter how many times I put them through the laundry. Being doused with hydraulic fluid. And cleaning it off on the flight line with JP4 until you got back to the barracks to take a shower. 😮 Oh my, we were so much younger then. But now I'm fighting different skin cancer and shin issues. It's horrible. One of my brethren shrine just tell me to

Thank you for the good information. I used Trajector medical and for an affordable fee, they got me an increase for life. Have you heard of Trajector medical? Are you fees similar? And why is your organization a better choice than Trajector medical.
You're welcome! We only get paid if you get an increase (and only with NEW money that you didn’t have before)!
There aren't any upfront costs but when you win, we charge a portion of your increase. Our veterans say the fee is worth it, considering that so many of them spent years fighting for their benefits to no avail. If we don't increase your rating, we get $0. Take a look at the details here >> vaclaimsinsider.com/price-list/
Every day we help hundreds of veterans navigate the VA disability claims process and to date, we’ve helped over 20,000 veterans (and counting) get the disability benefits they deserve. Our success rate is unrivaled.

I want to know why the VA refuses to include Afghanistan deployments for conditions on the presumptive list. I have many of the presumptive issues, but I have to prove it? Such bullshit! We had the same austere, harsh environment. It should be considered before “the air space above” any of the included countries. Give me a break. 🙄
It seems to me that the exposures (petro chemical fire and smoke) and medical prep (anthrax shots and other pills and shots) may have been different between the two theaters of operation.
