Federal Register , proposed rule to include Presumptive S/C PGW vets's for FGID (Functional GI Disorders)
Final action in April 2011
the current proposed rule does not create a new presumption of service connection. Consistent with 38 U.S.C. 1117, it clarifies that functional gastrointestinal disorders fall within the scope of the existing presumption of service connection for medically unexplained chronic multisymptom illnesses.
