Service members can sustain traumatic brain injuries in combat or when performing other service-related responsibilities. If you have suffered a head injury, and have residuals of a TBI, then you may qualify for disability compensation benefits. Residuals of a TBI are categorized together into general symptoms. Examples of physical symptom residuals can be headaches or migraines, bone fractures, degraded vision, fever, difficulty speaking or eating, fatigue, loss of sense of touch or hearing, and more. Cognitive effects can entail memory loss, lack of concentration or attention, lack of reasoning or judgment, hindered ability to understand information, communication problems, and reduced ability to assemble, plan, and organize. Veterans may also experience behavioral and emotional TBI residual symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, impulsiveness, frustration, depression, regression, repetitiveness, and inability to control emotions and impulsive behavior.
The VA provides compensation for veterans who have TBI residual symptoms. These symptoms are categorized into four categories, including physical dysfunction, emotional/behavioral, subjective symptoms, and cognitive impairment. If a TBI residual symptom is ratable based on the diagnostic code, then it should receive a schedule rating accordingly. If you have questions about this assessment, contact Greg right away. There are times when the VA makes decisions that are not correct or fair based on the veteran’s case. Our VA TBI attorney understands that receiving benefits can make a difference in someone’s life. Veterans deserve support after everything they have been through.
