Berta Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Dave Barker- who many of you know from Military.com just emailed me and others this: "By the way, I will be teaching a 4 hour class on TBI at the AMVETS Ohio convention 6/6 in Cincinnati. Dave" The VA as well as all service reps need to know a lot more about TBI than they do- the VA is certainly trying to understand this complex disability. TBI can comes from the fact that the weaponry today is different than in the Vietnam War-IEDs are more powerful in many cases then the land mines in Vietnam- then again how many Vietnam vets had TBI but never knew it. We discussed this last night at SVR Radio- veterans are coming back from the War with both TBI and PTSD. It seems to me after reading the VA Perez PTSD email and considering the other deplorable factors as to how the VA is not properly diagnosing many returning veterans- that the TBI factor must be looked into extensively- as this is a separate brain trauma unlike PTSD and should be rated separately from PTSD. Any type of concussion can cause TBI as well as other factors that could leave the veteran with memory loss and other residuals that could be compensable. At least study continues on this issue and the VA is recognizing how serious TBI is. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
