Well I have been trying to get some relief from the VA since 1970 after getting out of the army I went to the VA hospital in LA (Sawettle) for severe headaches and was given a blue and white ID card at the time ( was never told that this was not a VA medical care card ) never saw a doctor only a nurse and was given slepping pills and darvon for pain I recieved care in this fashion for a couple years before I was informed that the program I was in had been cancaled and would recieve info for a new program with in a month this never happened and when I questioned the VA was given the run around. In 1984 I again went to the VA in Reno for headaches and agian was given a blue/white ID card and drugs for the problem while there got a exam related to Agent Orange and was placed in the registry again nothing came of the headaches applied for care in 1998 and was given a Purple/White ID card group 7 and was given care for a severe ear ache at the time asked about the headaches and was given no info fially I was told by a nurse at the facility I use to see the area VSO and I did so appling for service connection for several thing that happened durring my service TBI being one of them. I recived Service connection for hearing/tinnitus broken ankle stomch would and scars related to B40 meets bunker with me inside, close proxcimity to the ammo dump explosion at Long Bihn 4 Feb 67 six days in 93rd evac for amnisea and blast related head trauma, the TBI was denied as there was no record of being treated for the problem while in the military. well I fianally got my med records and big as life there was the treatment records for secondary items related to blast trauma and I have reopened the case and have had three C&P related to TBI the past two years with the final one being Oct 2010 So I will see how this works out but it has been an uphill batle for years
