  Traumatic G. asked:

  Post from member: My partner has a TBI from an IED bomb blast which struck his vehicle in 2009. He was subsequently discharged from the military with only a diagnosis of hearing loss. This year he tried to get this diagnosis changed with the military compensation scheme, however, they ignored all medical information he provided to them about his TBI and they added to his diagnosis that he has "major depressive disorder" based on a psychiatrists notes from 2011. We are very frustrated that the military is ignoring the fact that the IED blast left him with a TBI. During the blast, he lost consciousness and after the blast he suffered with hearing loss, loss of balance and coordination, and server head aches and ear aches. These symptoms have persisted for over five years now. Other symptoms include trouble with word recall and memory recall and fatigue. He is not depressed and he does not have a major depressive disorder. I can say this with certainty as I myself am a psychotherapist. He is a happy and optimistic person but the lack of support he's received from the military is shocking, appalling, and causes him distress, and rightly so. We have pursued treatments for his TBI including acupuncture and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I am wondering if anyone has advice for us on how to convince the military he has a TBI, and also who is the best specialist in IED bomb blast TBIs? We are looking for a specialist in the UK/Europe or North America. This is so important to us we are willing to do whatever it takes to get the right professional onboard. Thank you for reading.

  I found another (altho there are many) advocate service (which should ALWAYS be FREE because they are helping you appeal against confusing issues with the VA)--called the Veterans Advocate Services.org is a non-profit, as it should be to advocate for you in appeals with the VA for medical or other issues. In addition, I just found some info in a magazine that I receive that Dept of Veterans Affairs is introducing a Uniformed Disability Claims Form to help Veterans appeal all sorts of benefits more easily (we can hope). The new form is to come into use in March 2015. Any Advocate Service you choose should know about this new form & how it could help you to appeal compensation, percentage of disability, and additional VA benefits. Hope this helps--the VA is a confusing system at best which is why we all need an Advocate.

  I can only imagine the frustration you both must be experiencing. My first instinct would be to contact an attorney. Does he have medical insurance that will cover non-military medical services? Many teaching hospitals (in the US) have or can recommend TBI treatment and rehab programs.
