Not just CA. Across the board.
TBI is the signature injury of OIF. Any veteran with a documented TBI should be rated 50% minimum, because it makes a huge difference in the benefits they can receive long term.
Fascinating how POC who never left the FOB can be rated over 50% for "bad knees" etc but TBI blast injuries are 30%.
Like many, I am very disappointed that this was not one of the key priorities to solve. The political POC in the VA and in HR screening depts across not just the Fed Gov but elsewhere is a real issue with veterans seeking employment.
Less than 1% of the population serves in the military, and much less than that are combat injured veterans. This is an easy fix, an easy policy change that mandates 100% full employment for our COMBAT INJURED veterans, not just "veterans". Since it hasn't happened, it is clear it is NOT a priority to this administration. We will remember.
