About time TBI was looked at seriously!!! TBI has such a long term impact on your life and the consequences of a TBI can impact your life in a drastic way. VThese VA was trying to turn down TBI injuries and have instead been using the PTSD diagnosis in its stead.... PTSD has far less complications while TBI's can long term drastic repercussions!!!! This is a big win for those who have had/been diagnosed with TBI injuries!!!

Thanks for sharing the news SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL that on "June 1, 2016, VA Secretary Robert McDonald announced that the VA has granted equitable relief to over 24,000 disabled veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) who were previously denied VA disability benefits for their condition."
This may be the tip of the iceberg but I hope it is an indicator of progress.

Good deal, now if they'd only get off their ass about the Blue Water Navy Agent Orange legislation.
