The above story came out a few weeks ago and I am really interested into how they came up with this, how this will shake out and what it means for me. I am one of those that stands to benefit from this since I have a low rating for TBI.
I sent my VA rep an email asking her, but have not heard back yet. Either way and regardless of how it turns out, I take this as VA’s admittance that they did not totally understand the long term effects from TBI and they are trying to do right by it now. I am glad that either they realize it or that the studies have proven what many of us suffering with TBI have known for years; that regardless of how severe it is, even the most minor of cases have a long-reaching and devastating effect on the quality of life.
Thank you VA, thank you.
An investigation into the Psychologist that conducted the initial investigation into TBI. What pressures were they operating under, were they promised anything; were they threatened to produce bad or false decisions and reports. These people are the real criminals and should be fully exposed.
