Don't know if this will get benefits based on preexisting conditions , however it should help getting medical records updated to include HD. Don't know all the in and outs, but it is a first step. Sometime back, the VA undertook a "million veteran" study where they drew blood from vets for study and analysis at Mass General (I think), this maybe be a fallout of that.
Good idea for veterans with HD or at risk to sign up and become part of the effort.
