Lloyd Inquiry backs Gulf War Syndrome veterans

The Lloyd Inquiry into Gulf War Syndrome has come out firmly in favour of Gulf War veterans. The Inquiry published its findings in a report which said that what the veterans now want above all else is a clear recognition by the MoD that they are ill because they served in the Gulf. “Are they entitled to that recognition? In our view they are.” It added that the MoD “ought not only to admit that the veterans are ill, but also that their illnesses are due to their service in the Gulf.”
