Stack Your Presumptives: File Multiple Gulf War Conditions Together

| Discuss on Reddit

Gulf War vets are leaving money on the table by filing one condition at a time. If you served in Southwest Asia after 1990, file ALL your presumptive conditions simultaneously—IBS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, headaches, joint pain. VA must evaluate each one separately, and combined ratings stack fast. Today, list every unexplained symptom you've had for 6+ months on a 21-526EZ. Don't wait for one approval before filing the next—that's years of backpay you're losing.
