Annex 3
Extract from Parliamentary Answer to Mr
Ken Livingstone MP, HC Deb 31 July 1998, C761
Of the 2,315 claims, 537 have been received
where a Gulf Veteran had made reference to a "Gulf War related
illness". Of these, 283 have been awarded a pension, 44 have
been rejected and 22 claims were withdrawn or lapsed. However,
I am advised that medical research carried out to date has not
identified a specific "Gulf Related illness". Consequently,
no claims have been awarded or rejected for "Gulf War Syndrome"
