All- ask a question here a few days back about treatment and testing centers for Chronic Multisymptom Illness and really did not get response was looking for. After a few clues from the local VA OEF/OIF Representative, I did a little digging and this is what I found that I hope some will find helpful.
There are 3-VA War Related Illness and Injury Study Center's- Plao Alto, CA; Washington DC, and East Orange NJ. The VA website is a follows and outlines all admission criteria:
http://www.warrelatedillness.va.gov/WARRELATEDILLNESS/contact.asp
Also, found VA/DoD CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC MULTISYMPTOM ILLNESS version 2-dated 2014. It is attached.
Do not be surprised if the first line of treatment offered is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and anti-depressant's.
Hope this all helps somebody as it was a pain in rear to find.
