  <title><![CDATA[
Extension of the Presumptive Period for Compensation for Gulf War  Veterans]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-12-05-E7-23545</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document affirms an amendment to the Department of 
Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulation 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 presumptive period for qualifying chronic 
disabilities resulting from undiagnosed illnesses that must become 
manifest to a compensable degree in order that entitlement for 
compensation be established. The intended effect of this amendment is 
to provide consistency in VA adjudication policy and preserve certain 
rights afforded to Persian Gulf War veterans and ensure fairness for 
current and future Persian Gulf War veterans.
