During the TET OFFENSIVE (1967), My husband suffered head wounds from an RPG in three different areas: face (shrapnel still lodged), left cheek and back of head. His C&P reports dating back in the 1970s - tramatic brain injury was mentioned by examining medical attendent. He had to learn to reread, slowed mental ability, lack of concentration, emotionless... We didn't know the extent of his head injury until we received his C file or what TBI was He avoids everthing. Recently, he received 70% back to 2009 for TBI. We didn't claim it til recently but since it came up in the C&P exams, is there any way to get back pay? This was a war wound incurred in battle and just didn't pop up recently. Shouldn't C&P physicians be responsible for getting this disability. Is there anything we can do???
