VA change to increase compensation for TBI - Army News, opinions, editorials, news from Iraq, photos, reports - Army Times
The VA has amended the rules for evaluation of claims for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). This could affect those soldiers who already have received a service connected disability rating for TBI. Thus, disabled veterans already receiving compensation for TBI should file IMMEDIATELY for an increase.
As the spouse of a disabled veteran with PTSD and TBI, this may have a large impact upon our claim. My husband's disabilities related to the TBI will not improve, but the PTSD may (we pray every day). This possibility increases our fears that the VA could reduce his compensation. Note though the assertion is made that the rates will not decrease from the new rules.
Please discuss any decision to increase or be reevaluate with your VA representative prior to filing.
