Army veterans have described the ruling as the first official recognition of what they call 'Gulf War Syndrome'.

In 1990 Alex Izett was a soldier in the Royal Engineers getting ready to go to the Gulf. He never actually went, but was given the same injections as those who did.

Defence Minister Dr Lewis Moonie told us there is still no medical evidence to support the existence of a specific Gulf War Syndrome.
