Untreated Tbi

Question

i suffered a head wound approx 35 years ago while on duty. i was hospitalized for weeks because of the damage to my eyes from the blow to my head. but i was never treated for the actual closed head wound.i complained for years afterwards but my complaints fell on deaf ears.dizziness,headaches,falling down,double vision,sleepless nights etc.

when i was discharged i still complained of the double vision and headaches but was told these were not compensable. fast forward 35 years and i am now 0% for the tbi but compensated 30 plus 10 for the residuals.

my question,is it possible to go for an eed or cue the fact that my injury was not treated even though i had the symptoms recorded in my smrs?

Only if you had filed a claim that had been denied for these same conditions.

I am sure this unfortunate situation has plagued many vets.

If the VA doesn't get a claim -there is no way to file a CUE on its denial because no denial occurred.

It would depend on when a claim was filed and for what conditions.

Cue applies to a final unappealed decision.

What are the DC's you are currently rated under ?

Hope this helps a vet.
