Rejected petition Recognition of Gulf War Illness

More details

The health and care needs of sick veterans are not being recognised by the Government, Department of Health and MOD.

The core symptoms of Gulf War Illness are now clear.

We therefore request that the Government, Department of Health and MOD recognise Gulf War Illness as a medical condition that developed in veterans as a result of serving on Operation Granby and Operation Telic in the Persian Gulf wars.
