In 1973 while still in the service, I was hospitalized for an unrelated psychiatric condition, I sustained a fall, due to a fainting spell, believed to have been caused by the psych drugs I was on at the time.
The result of this fall was a Fractured Nasal Bone and a minor cerebral concussion or closed brain injury of the frontal lobe of the brain. Further testing done shortly after the injury confermed this fact. Later the Fracture Nasal Bone was SC, yet the minor cerebral concussion was not.
Today, such head injuries are handled much differently and are more likely than not, with the similiar medical evidence I had back in 1973, the minor cerebral concussion would have also been SC, even if secondary to the actual skeletal injury.
My question is this, how would I use the new liberalized VA Rules, Regulations, and Laws to my best advantage to reopen and support a claim for the cerebral concussion/TBI, possibly secondary to the Nasal Bone Fracture, which caused the cerebral concussion?
