A. Undiagnosed illness
Claimed in war - 2 percent
Served in theater - 0.3 percent
All Deployed - 1.4 percent
This shows that many Gulf War vets have not utilized the undiagnosed illness category which could mean either that their illnesses are being diagnosed or that the service officers and the veterans are unfamiliar with the utilization of this method of applying for a claim. It is interesting that no data have been provided on era veterans that are experiencing undiagnosed illnesses.
B. Denial Rate
* 73 percent of those that served in actual war have been denied;
* 84 percent of those who served in theater have been denied, and
* 74 percent denied for all deployed.
This data again show the lack of implementing the newest law for Gulf War veterans a full eight months after it was signed into law.
