How TBI VA Ratings Are Decided
www.woodslawyers.com/tbi-va-r...
Every day we speak to veterans about their mental health. We help veterans gain financial security when their mental conditions prevent them from doing what they could do otherwise. In order for veterans to get these benefits from the VA, they need to be open about their struggles. But, more importantly, we want veterans to strive for more than financial security. We want to encourage you to seek the quality of life you deserve
Some of the most common mental disorders among veterans are
PTSD
Substance abuse disorders
Depression
TBI
A mental health disorder is any emotional condition that impacts mood, thinking, and behavior. The rating should reflect the occupational and social impairment the mental disorder causes.
If left untreated, mental health disorders typically worsen. They don’t disappear. The VA provides various services for veterans with mental health conditions, including counseling. It also provides mental health disability payments for those veterans who qualify.
If you are unable to work due to your service-connected disabilities, you may qualify for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU). Contact us to see if you are eligible. Give us a call and receive a free legal consultation.
We have helped thousands of veterans all over the United States and we only charge a fee if we win your case.
