Ya ever been dizzy or disoriented after getting yer noggin thumped at any time in yer life? Ya ever had a concussion? Any thing like it? Then you absolutely have to take a long hard look at the sites I've listed below. Do not ignore this. If it happened on active duty and has affected your ability to function in any way, you may be eligible for compensation under CFR Title 38-Pensions, Bonuses, and Veteran's Relief. http://www.headinjury.com http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_01/38cfr04_01.html For info on PTSD cases the Vietnam Door Gunners Association has a lot of info at a small fee. They have a step by step series of instructions available. http://www.afvn.net/ptsd/chapter13.htm
What does a concussion have to do with ptsd (see Cooks photos for July 14, 1967)? Hell, I don't remember a damn thing after that explosion.

I should have clarified my reasoning or posted the PTSD in a more appropriate thread. My apologies. I included the PTSD for one reason...many of the requirements for filing evidence for a claim are similiar, and the url for PTSD lists them step by step. I only meant it inclusion as a time saver and as additional reference for filing PTSD claims. I'm very sorry for any confusion. ( Ya gonna blow me in to the First Sergeant or can we work something out? ;))
I only went to the "Head Injury" section of the url posted. In the box to the left is the PTSD url, also included under "Head Injury".
just wondering if concussion & ptsd have a connection--- I got'm both.
S/F,

Haven't seen anything, but many of the symptoms they describe are similiar in the CFR I listed.
