Question
Punisher3A1
I have a question about trying to get IBS service connected. I am only an Afghanistan vet and I have read the Gulf War Presumptive Illness requirements and I saw that it says if you have spent one day in the Southwest Asia theater of operations that you could be SC due to a presumptive illness. I have records that show I was in Kuwait and was there for over a week but that was for my travel during my mid-tour leave. Could I submit a claim for IBS under the Gulf War Presumptive illness or should I try to get it service connected the regular room?
I was thinking about trying it as a presumptive illness first and if it didn't work, then file a regular claim but I'm unsure if that could hurt my chances at the regular claim. Thank you guys in advance for your help and advice.

If you already have a diagnosis for IBS related issues, that might be all that is needed to start your claim. They might send you to a C&P to evaluate the severity.
