U.S. veterans who suffered brain injuries while in action may have an easier time getting veterans benefits if a new federal plan goes through. The Department of Veterans Affairs is now taking comments on proposed rule at Regulations.gov, which will end February 8. If this rule were to go into place, veterans suffering from parkinsonism, unprovoked seizures, dementia, depression or diseases of hormone deficiency could have these illnesses accepted as secondary disorders relating to a traumatic brain injury.
