As a longtime advocate for veterans suffering with toxic wounds, I couldn't be prouder to see Gulf War veterans @Anthony_Hardie and Mike Jarrett were at the White House for the signing of the historic PACT Act.

@GTOGuy3@GWICTIC In the early days after the war, civilians who helped during the war could sign up for the GW registry exams at your local VA. Now the VA has environmental health coordinators. Info is at https://t.co/ztml60tFXh. If that doesn't work, reach back out.

Having worked for years to raise awareness of toxic wounds that GW veterans suffer from deployment-related exposures, we hope these new actions will help our ailing veterans to obtain long-overdue benefits and care for their toxic wounds.

Veterans with Gulf War Illness have been fighting for benefits for 30 years and 80% of their claims are still being denied. Read about our efforts to change that by developing diagnostic tests for GWI and raising awareness of military toxic wounds.

VA has extended the presumptive period to Dec. 31, 2026 for qualifying chronic disabilities rated 10% or more resulting from undiagnosed illnesses in Persian Gulf War Veterans to ensure benefits established by Congress are fairly administered. https://t.co/OvoSnna6X3
#NewPublication The significance? Huge! The #GulfWarIllness Common Data elements reflect consensus recommendations of #GWI research community stakeholders & will allow studies to standardize data collection, enhance data quality & facilitate data sharing.
