Although the Department of Defense denied its existence for a long time, Congress has now established the reality of the Gulf War syndrome that so many veterans have experienced. Manifestations of the Gulf War syndrome have included the following:

  • Systemic malfunctions similar to those experienced by sufferers of Multiple Sclerosis
  • Symptoms similar to fibromyalgia or multiple chemical sensitivity conditions
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Muscle aches and pains
  • Neurological abnormalities such as tingling and numbness
  • Cognitive dysfunction: memory loss, inability to concentrate
  • Mood and sleep disturbances
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Dermatological abnormalities
  • Respiratory ailments
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms
  • Cardiovascular symptoms

There is no single test that can determine whether a person suffers from Gulf War Syndrome. A diagnosis usually comes about after a process of elimination.

If you have been told by a doctor — or if you suspect — that you suffer from some form of Gulf War Syndrome or illness, The Law Offices of Paul M. Goodson, P.C., encourages you to talk to a veterans' disability attorney. You may have made a claim for benefits and been denied — or you may not have realized that you have a probable case for veterans' benefits.

Pursue the Compensation You Need and Deserve

We are prepared to advise you on the most likely routes to a successful benefit claim or appeal. Our goal is to help you recover the full financial compensation you deserve when you suffer from a Gulf War illness resulting in partial or total disability.
