0% for a hearing loss. 10% for right clavicle fracture. I can't remember the other 10% of the moment. I have a letter from the neurologist at VA in North Carolina. His statement is pretty long but the summary is after this type of injury when I would expect to see memory loss and poor organizational skills from the temporal lobe damage, mood swings and panic attacks and powerful emotional outbursts from the frontal lobe damage as well as depression from the temporal and frontal lobe damage. She has poor balance and dizziness which is also consistent with head injury. These ongoing and permanent effects of her head injury Will not improve. They affect her daily. She is unable to function in any employment situation due to these problems Will not improve. They affect her daily. She is unable to function in any employment situation due to these problems.
My legal representation also had a vocational expert review my entire file and interview me about the effects I experience from my brain damage. When we got to the part of dizziness and disequilibrium he said that he didn't need any more information from me. Do any of you have an opinion as to how you think this may play out? I would appreciate your input. It's been a long eight years getting to this point
