Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with ALS continue to struggle with VA care and benefits. We need help to fix critical issues now.
1. Final Rule 2900-AN60 still sits at OMB while vets are being rated at less than 100 percent.
2. The Family Caregiver Program excludes vets with ALS, and the VA has not taken simple policy changes to fix it until the law is ammended.
3. Many VA hospitals are still treating vets with ALS thru general care instead of treating them through an multi-discipline ALS clinic - a universal standard of care across the United States.
