Abstract
TBI severity was significantly associated with TBI SCD determination and TBI SCD rating percentage, in addition to overall SCD compensation. Although deployment was significantly associated with TBI SCD determination, non-deployment was associated with higher TBI SCD percent ratings. These results may be explained by TBI occurring in non-deployment military settings, such as training. This highlights the need to study risk for TBI in the general military environment to ensure that all military-related TBI exposures are recognized and that any related disability is appropriately compensated.
