As for VA enrollment, just go to your VA hospital. It's important for Gulf vets to enrol because the VA is keeping statistics on Gulf vets with symptoms, and those they don't see are not counted.

To file a disability claim, it's best to use a claims rep from one of the vets orgs that usually have offices at the VA hosp. You can ask around to find the best one in your area. They pursue the case and relieve you of the stress--which is something a vet with PTSD certainly doesn't need!

Good luck to you and your husband, and please update us on your experience.
