Spent Uranium intoxication?

Listening to an interview in the radio on my way to work earlier this morning, I heard the president of the Mothers Against War local chapter accusing the federal government of abandoning a local Irak War veteran "ill from Uranium intoxication".

"His surgery will cost him millions of dollars", she blurted. She went as far as describing other family members also affected with "some kind of skin rash in their legs" related to his malaise.

I've read from PTSD, Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome, but never from war theater related depleted Uranium intoxication syndrome. Is this something new, or just some anti-war propaganda?
