Here's one from your side of the pond.

Notice is says "Concussions can be caused by a blow to the head, face, neck or body."

Whiplash is the common cause of concussions where there was no head impact.

Your Neuro Psych Assessment report should be able to show your dysfunction.

I am concerned about this specific doctor writing your report. He is a classic 'biased against concussions causing long term symptoms' doctor.

My best to you.
