Future for Dissatisfied Veterans - Desert Storm
We have a problem with Deployment Health Working Group !
Since DOD is not capable of releasing the actual classified data around the exposure events, it is not providing the substantive evidence that would support specific Gulf War Illness Claims. The DHWG knows this fact and has operated as a invisible secret entity since 2001। No website, they dont respond to phone calls, and they do not meet with advocates to discuss any points to include there annual reports to VA.
This has been a grossly ineffective entity throughout its incarnation and cannot be trusted to be genuinely objective when it comes to Gulf War Illness health concerns. It is a bad idea to bring them in or have them interject into something they have been less than supportive or useful at. This just brings old ideas from legacy government personnel to the table that our illness is somatic in nature.
