My husband is Active duty Army for 7 years, 3 years Reserves and the last 4 years as Georgia Army National Guard. He was injured at his Unit back on 10-4-2009, when a 250 pound tarp was dropped on his neck and shoulder. He is a Medic & was asked if he needed to go to the hospital, he thought he was ok. For the next 3 weeks he had severe headaches (which he had a long history of migraines, so he thought it was normal) On 10-30-09, he had a stroke in the optical area of his brain from a carotid artery dissection (from the tarp hitting him in the neck) and on 11-7-2009, he had a 2nd full on stroke in the communication area of his brain. His Unit is still processing his LOD and is now asking for paystubs from his civilian employer. (he had lost his civilian job as a nurse b/c he now can not read or write.) I supplied them with W-2's and also a letter from the Georgia Department of Labor noting his income but they are insistent on paystubs. I had since shredded them after I filed his taxes.
Is this right?? What else can I do??? I am so frustrated that we are almost a year past his injury and nothing has been done to take care of him.
