Clinton backs extending Gulf War disability period
President Clinton endorsed changing VA rules to allow disability payments for undiagnosed Gulf War illnesses even if symptoms began after leaving service. Veterans Affairs Secretary Jesse Brown said no decision on a new time window has been made and will involve consultations with veterans groups and lawmakers. The move follows reports of Gulf War syndrome with varied symptoms and unresolved cases, and would broaden eligibility beyond the current two year rule. The Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans Illnesses will continue nine months to oversee DoD probes into chemical exposure during the 1991 conflict.
