Paul J HogieThere seems to be some misuderstanding regarding eligibility. Post Concusive Disorder is synonomous with TBI and many AW2 reps are under the impression that all eligibility requirements must be rated severe in nature rather than AW2's original intent that the eligibility requirements already fall into severe injuries or illness. We need your help to refine the eligibility criteria and eliminate the misguidances. Thank You.1 · about 7 months ago
