Hi again, thanks so much for the replies. I had a bad car accident in 1997, I shattered my left femure and I suffered a severe TBI, I was unconscious for an unknown amount of time, and I attended the TBI center for 5 yrs. I was rated under the old law and it was suggested that I get rerated as I suffer PTSD, and experience migraines along with multiple other issues I scored a 40 on the GAF and a 19 on that other test. ( neuro test) That is all documented in my record. When I went into the audio test the lady kept asking me if my hearing loss was from my accident, I said that and the generators I worked near. I was very nervous as I suffer anxiety, I am sure that my hearing is from the accident as that left side of me has problems, eye, ear. I do work currently however I miss quite a bit of work, and I can’t do it much longer. On my C+P under neurological disorders miscellaneous the doc wrote Moderate degree of ataxia /dizziness secondary to TBI. Hearing c+P says hearing loss is not from TBI. Can I still be rated for ataxia? Very confused. My claim opened july 7, 2010.
Thanks in advance, it is wonderful how you all help so many!
