Veteran Gulf War Syndrome Disability Attorneys
Military veterans are plagued by a broad range of service-connected injuries, illnesses, and medical conditions that can range from musculoskeletal disabilities to mental health conditions like PTSD. Veterans who served in the Gulf War may battle presumptive conditions that include Gulf War Syndrome — or Gulf War Illness — that is exclusive to military veterans who served in that conflict. This multi-symptom medical condition impacts an estimated 28% of Gulf War veterans and with many related symptoms and a high denial rate, a qualified veteran Gulf War Syndrome disability attorney can help you file a successful claim. VA Benefits Attorneys is the legal partner you need to help ensure you receive the benefits and compensation you have earned with your years of service.

How We Can Help
Legal Support and Services for Veteran Gulf War Syndrome Claims
Did you serve in the Persian Gulf War? Do you battle chronic, unexplained medical symptoms like severe fatigue, memory loss, or chronic muscle pain? You may be battling Gulf War Syndrome and may be eligible for disability compensation for this presumptive condition. VA Benefits Attorneys is here to help you file a claim, navigate the claims process, and receive the correct disability rating.
Establish Service Connection
Veterans who may be combating Gulf War Syndrome need to establish a clear service connection between their military service and this presumptive medical condition. This means having the correct medical diagnosis, medical documents, and evidence to support a claim and establish a medical nexus for your medical condition and related symptoms.
Collect Evidence and Documents
The viability of your disability claim hinges on the medical documents and evidence you are able to provide in support of your service connection. The legal team at VA Benefits Attorneys can help you collect the necessary documents to file a successful claim, receive your disability rating, and earn the compensation that you have earned. Documents that you may need to file a successful disability claim for Gulf War Syndrome include a medical diagnosis from your VA or private doctor, additional medical support documents, and lay evidence.
Appeal Denied Disability Claims
More than 80% of initial disability claims for Gulf War Syndrome are denied due to a variety of reasons that can include an unclear service connection or missing medical documentation. With disability claims specific to Gulf War Syndrome, the denial can frequently be attributed to a poor understanding of this medical condition by VA representatives. No matter the reason why your claim was denied, it is not the end of the road. VA Benefits Attorneys can help you appeal a denied claim via a Higher-Level Review, a Supplemental Claim, or taking your case in front of a Board of Appeals.

What Is Gulf War Syndrome?
Gulf War Syndrome is a chronic, medically unexplained multi-symptom disorder that is specific to veterans who served in the Persian Gulf War from 1990 to 1991 and an estimated 200,000 veterans have filed disability claims for this medical condition. Medical and scientific analyses have not been able to determine a single cause or origin of Gulf War Syndrome — but potential causes include exposure to nerve gas or chemical weapons due to the destruction of Iraqi weapons facilities, direct exposure to pesticides or chemical agents, smoke and emissions from oil well fires, or genetic susceptibility.
An element of this presumptive condition that makes it difficult to diagnose and trace are the many symptoms tied to Gulf War Syndrome. The most common indicators of Gulf War Syndrome include severe fatigue, widespread musculoskeletal pain, neurological and cognitive issues, gastrointestinal issues, and additional systemic issues that can include respiratory disorders and rashes. The disability ratings for a presumptive condition are not always simple and are based on the severity of individual symptoms that can fall under the Gulf War Syndrome umbrella. For example — Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is associated with Gulf War Syndrome and can be rated at 10%, 20%, 40%, or 60%.
