VA trying to do right
http://www.military.com/news/article/September-2008/va-quadruples-payment-to-vets-with-tbi.html
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.

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.
