I'm just trying to figure out what this means to the vets now . . . are you saying that before now, they didn't cover these illnesses; like MS and Cancer (no matter what the "cause")?

My friend, who is a US vet, was medically retired with MS. He thinks it was caused by uranium while in this latest war (came home in 2004, I think), but he has been getting a medical pension just because of the MS (regardless of the cause).

With this ruling, are they going to be entitled to more now, or ... what is the actual benefit?
