Migraines From Tbi ( Please Offer Your Opinion )
I put in a claim for migraines, my first c and p was with the neurologist, and he wrote down everything I stated, he put down the criteria that meets the 50 percent rating for migraines ( completely prostrating ). He even linked them to my stressor with an at least as likely as not statement. But I had another c and p with an ignoramus doctor who wrote my migraines were severe but not prostrating, he screwed me and wrote everything opposite of what I told him. I have been treated at the va for my migraines and I have a lot medication for them in my va records, my question is are they going to take the neurologists recommendation which states the 50 percent rating criteria…

Dbq Not Accurately Recorded.
Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and just had an odd experience with a C&P. I have an instance of mild concussion on my c-file from 01, additionally; I had a motorcycle accident in which I was unconscious. This second TBI was not recorded because I downplayed the symptoms at the time. My CO, “had a talk” with me about my reckless behavior, as I was into action sports, i.e. freestyle skiing and motocross, and had gotten injured a few times. My performance was always great, but my off-duty hobbies were fairly dangerous. I put in for TBI residuals in 2012, and after a year completed a C&P, which included a DBQ. I am familiar with a DBQ, and read the questio…
