Gulf War veterans with undiagnosed, disability qualifying benefits now have an extension on their deadline to apply for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The extension is due to a recent change in VA regulations which affects veterans from the conflict with undiagnosed or poorly understood medical problems that may stem from military service.
After an article published in the Boston Globe reported that some parents may misuse or create disability qualifying benefits to receive payments from the Social Security Administration, Congress has begun a probe into to the children’s benefits program, according to an article printed this fall by Disability Scoop.

Children with cerebral palsy can lead a good life. There can be happiness, fun trips and everything good about being a child, but things can also get very expensive for families. One website said families may have to pay over $100,000 for special education, a large amount for most families. Applying for benefits with the Social Security Administration may help families struggling with trying to give their child a good life.
