CAD falls under The Agent Orange presumptives.

The Gulf War vet presumptives are available here under a search.

However the Chronic Presumptives, and the criteria for SC, are listed in the 3.307 link here to include the 3.309 link.

I think the Gulf War Regulations are VERY confusing..

"Sweating" is not a disease, but excessive sweating can be a symptom of several diseases. If you have not done so already, you should seek medical attention on that, in case it were a symptom of a serious disease such as CAD. Of course, I do not know if your sweating has anything to do with CAD, only your doc could determine that.

IMHO, you dont want to apply for "sweating", but if your doc lists that as a symptom and diagnoses you with a disease that causes sweating, then by all means do so.
