[bojack]

Just came back from my c&p exam review in order to increase my zero percent. ...

The c&p examier cried for me and told me I am going to get more than 0% this time. I took bullet to the chest, leg, ied, and 4x unconscious during 3 combat tour....

She was in shock I received 0% for my tbi rating.

Wish me luck guys

Hearing loss 0

Titinnitus 10

Shoulder joint 0

Neck pain 40

Tbi 0

I am so glad you had what appears to be a good C & P exam result.for the TBI .

"4x unconscious during 3 combat tour...."

And they rated you "0" ???? ridiculous but then again VA rates TBIs for residuals and there are plenty of them....

It pays for TBI vets to read the TBI forum here and the TBI criteria has changed in the past few years as VA learned more and more about the affects of TBI..

"I took bullet to the chest, leg, ied, and 4x unconscious during 3 combat tour...."

Do you have ratable scars or any ratable residuals from the GSW?

I sure assume the PH is on your DD214 but then again ,the Mil makes DD 214 errors.

Corrections to a DD 214 can be made via a DD 149 form.The link is here at hadit somewhere to the form (and at the VA web site too)

Wow that's fast you already got a new C&P exam!

Just be aware that they might combine your PTSD and TBI rating.

On the exam sheet there is a question that says "can you separate the effects of the TBI"? If the examiner marks no that they cannot separate the effects then technically a TBI rating is supposed to be combined with any mental health ratings. In the past they weren't doing this so much but the regulations say they are supposed to.

Hope things go your way!
