I was rear ended on Post while on duty, the lady was crying and I was dazed and confused she was late for a DR. Appt. so I got her info(no MP report) she reported it to USAA the same day, two days later my head was hurting so bad I could not get out of bed I called made an appointmet with my PCM, a Few shots later the MRI's started then the Brain lesions, neuro, meds, seizures, no driving, tremors, spots in vision, blurred vision, insomnia, 35 lb weight loss, depression, psychiatrist, psych evals, put on ssdi, WTU. Now I was called and told too file for tsgli even with all the documentation they say I need an accident report even though I was on duty at the time of the accident, My question is could or is there another way around this? I have Memos from my PCM, Top, CAPT that this accident happened at this time and that I had none of these problems before this, what should I do? Jason or anyone>
 
Seems to me there are two options. Try to get the MP's to file a report, even at this late date. They may not be able to do an incident report but instead just an information report (some of the nomenclature may change depending on what branch or if civilian DoD Police handle these matters). If they do issue a report, then no problem.

The other option is to just file and see what they say...if they deny based on the lack of an accident report, it sounds like you could appeal. Obviously, it is best to give them what they ask for, but if you can't, then I would say your only other choice is to press ahead. Sounds like you have good supporting documentation, so I would not think you should have a problem. As always, you have to see what they say.

Best of luck!
 
Jason, I will go tomorrow and check with the MP's and see what they can do, it is on an Army Post and I have been here a while maybe I can ask a favor from someone. Jason, I just want to say thanks for this forum and the opportunity to understand this and other processes especially the MEB/PEB which I am on my 5th pause and 1 rejection at DCCS but having this forum has helped me deal with it with a lot a self control seeing that others go thru the same struggles. Thanks again,WT
 
I am glad to help...One of the most enjoyable things that I got out of my military service was helping others. It is a responsibility, but one that feels great to fulfill. That is reward enough, but I figure that if there is some kind of karmic scorecard out there, it never hurts to help people.

Hope all goes well for you!
 
I have TBI and I was woundering would I get tsgli just off TBI and the fact that I don't sleep I ant drive cuz I daze out and I have all the memory loss n not able to do normal things as a soilder with all the paper work that I have
 
I have been fighting for my husbands TSGLI for months. Thankfully, I work for an attorney and he is working this for me.
 
I was wondering if you had any luck in the fight for your husband's TSGLI? If you were successful, do you have any advice?
