June 3, 2013 - Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki announced that the department’s Gulf War Veterans’ Illnesses Task Force will publish a comprehensive draft report in the Federal Register for public feedback and comment. The report describes how the Department of Veterans Affairs has been addressing, and will continue to address, the concerns of veterans who deployed during the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991.“We know Gulf War veterans are experiencing critical long-term medical issues that are complex and difficult to label,” Shinseki said. “VA has learned a great deal over the past 20 years about identifying, diagnosing and treating Gulf War veterans, and we will continue to evaluate our research and clinical findings to ensure we keep providing world-class health care and benefits for Gulf War Veterans.”
