ALL veterans with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, will qualify for disability benefits, regardless of when or where they served...

Great news for veterans who have been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease!

This is the second article I've read today, although not in the correct order, about the VA deciding to make big changes to its disability compensation program.

First, the VA decides to increase its rating schedule for vets who suffer from mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and now, they annouced on Tuesday, September 24th, 2008, that it would make full disability benefits available for veterans who have ALS, regardless of when or where they served. 

Two big strides in the right direction by the VA for the brave men and women that have fought to protect our freedom. Better late than never...

A big thanks to our troops! We appreciate your service and courage.
