Thank you, House of Representatives! Yesterday, they passed legislation to improve long-term care for warriors with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The legislation has already passed the Senate, and is expected to be signed into law by the President.
Wounded Warrior Project worked for two years to get Congress to address ambiguities in the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) treatments for TBI
, and we’re relieved that warriors will soon be guaranteed by law to get the care they deserve. Once this legislation becomes law, warriors with TBI will have more comprehensive care plans from VA that can't be cut off prematurely. These veterans will also get the support they need – health services or non-medical assistance – to achieve maximum independence and quality of life.
Thank you, Congress, and a big thank you to Congressman Tim Walz for first introducing this legislation in 2011!
