You served your country willingly. You’re proud of your service, too.
But you, like many veterans, came back with a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
TBIs can manifest both physically and psychologically in the long and short term. Unfortunately, TBIs often get overlooked. A 2018 study by the VA found long-term issues with TBI examinations, including that many veterans weren’t properly examined for TBIs.
They can make holding a job impossible, which leaves you unable to provide for you and your family through no fault of your own.
It’s why you need veterans’ disability benefits. They’re protection for people who served and now need a little help to live secure lives.
You deserve support. But sometimes, getting it isn’t so easy. We see too many veterans denied the benefits they need.
