In 1953, while aboard ship, a former Navy Seaman with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from a motor vehicle accident was repeatedly raped by his first line supervisor. The Sailor admitted to heroin use to deal with the stress of the rapes and developed what we now know to be Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He was administratively separated and discharged as “undesirable” (the equivalent of an Other than Honorable discharge). For the next 60 years, the Sailor sought and paid for counseling for the trauma from the rape and his PTSD because he was ineligible for Veterans Affairs (VA) health benefits. He applied repeatedly to the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) to upgrade his discharge, which were all denied. MNB Law Attorneys were able to successfully petition the BCNR and his discharge was upgraded to General (under Honorable conditions) and the Sailor was finally able to get the treatment he needed for his PTSD at the VA.
