Brain injury fund may sharply limit eligibility
The state wants to limit those the Traumatic Brain Injury Fund helps to people whose brain damage came from a direct blow to the head. That would mean people who have "acquired" brain injuries from strokes, tumors or other injuries would be turned away.
That means 1,300 of the 2,200 people the fund has helped since 2004 would no longer be eligible for state help for treatments that cost up to $15,000 a year.
