Question
Dave C
I filed a claim for TBI and residuals on 10/7/08. I have been given a rating of 10%. My first TBI (concussion) is from an auto accident that occured in 1975. I included the results of a neuropysch exam that states from the examiners point of view that I suffered a moderate TBI. I also had 2 other occurances where I received blows to the head. In my rating decision the VBA only used language to describe the 2nd or 3rd incident of head injury. They denied essential tremor as a result of head injury in 1975. So what they have done is skip the documented results of the first TBI when applying the facets of the new rating laws. They did not address the neurobehavioral aspect or my statement of claim where I asked that I be evaluated for depression as a result of the documented (and sent to them) evidence. I also asked in my statement that I be considered for exacerbation of pre service condition prior to entrance to service as I was trested for ADHD with ritalin, they also ignored that and didn't address it. I am ready to file a de novo review and feel like I should request an informal review hearing any suggestions are appreciated thanks Dave
