My head was broke open pretty good in an aircraft maintenance accident. I think I got 10 staples at the ER in Camp Lejeune. I had not thought about this in 20 years until my wife shaved my head because I was sick of my long hair due to COVID barber closures. I read somewhere that there is compensation for scars. I was not sure if this would even be worth pursing. Do they have any rules around where the scar is? I have included a picture of the top of my head and the drawing from the doc at the ER from my medical record. I am currently 70% rated mostly for back and secondaries to that. Not sure if this would be enough to move the needle even if approved.
