Fed Regist. 2017 Oct 24;82(204):49121-3.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing this final rule to affirm its adjudication regulations regarding compensation for disabilities resulting from undiagnosed illnesses suffered by veterans who served in the Persian Gulf War. This amendment is necessary to extend the period during which disabilities associated with undiagnosed illnesses and medically unexplained chronic multi-symptom illnesses must become manifest in order for a Veteran to be eligible for compensation. The intended effect of this amendment is to provide consistency in VA adjudication policy, preserve certain rights afforded to Persian Gulf War (GW) veterans, and ensure fairness for current and future GW veterans.
美国退伍军人事务部（VA）发布本最终规则，以确认其关于对在海湾战争中服役的退伍军人因未确诊疾病导致的残疾进行赔偿的裁决规定。此次修订是必要的，以延长与未确诊疾病和医学上无法解释的慢性多症状疾病相关的残疾必须显现的期限，以便退伍军人有资格获得赔偿。此次修订的预期效果是使VA裁决政策保持一致，维护给予海湾战争（GW）退伍军人的某些权利，并确保当前和未来的GW退伍军人得到公平对待。
