My husband is a Korean combat vet and has had PLS for 30 years. We are in the middle of appealing to the VA for service connected benefits on the grounds that PLS is a rare form of ALS.
I've put together a website for veterans who are fighting this same battle so we can gather all the info & research in one place:
https://sites.google.com/site/veteranswithpls/
You can share it with your service officer or congressman - it may help with your claim...

Do let me know if you have any more information that should be added to the website & share your experiences with the VA on getting PLS recognized as a service connected disability.
Thanks!
 
Great idea ncollins. Thank you for taking the time to put the website together.
 
It really does sound like PLS is really just UMN dominant ALS. Too bad the criteria doesn't see it as such--for the support resources alone!
