I regret that UPS ad popped up in the post-dont know how to delete it-
Denise Nichols is a relentless GWV advocate-I imagine her group was overwhelmed.
This is terrible!
ALS is fatal disease and these vets were told they had it-but didnt-
They should file for anxiety comp caused by the VA-of course that wont work and I dont think they could sue-
The VA seems incapable of doing anything right!
This stuff only supports what we have said for years- the VA employs incompetent workers.

Monday August 24, 20091,200 veterans wrongly told they have ALSby The Associated PressAdvertiservar ipt = "ipt";var rnd = Math.random()*99999999;document.write('');document.write('');CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- At least 1,200 Gulf War veterans across the country have been mistakenly notified by the Veterans Administration that they suffer from a fatal neurological disease.
National Gulf War Resources Center Vice President Denise Nichols says panicked veterans from Alabama, Florida, Kansas, North Carolina, West Virginia and Wyoming have contacted her group.
The letters dated Aug. 12 were intended to notify veterans who have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, of disability compensation benefits available to them.
Calls to the VA were not immediately returned Monday.
Nichols said the VA is blaming a coding error for the mistake.
ALS is a rapidly progressive disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles.
