Hello all:
I've been lurking this site and reading the threads/commentary for some time now...and I've been very impressed with the level of discussion and knowledge about the various problems our brothers and sisters in green have been having. Well done to all who care enough about each other to share that knowledge!
The reason I'm writing now is that I'm having some trouble with VAC in relation to my claim for Vertigo. Without getting too far into the weeds, I've been having episodes of vertigo over the previous 3 years, but when I applied, it was denied because I didn't list a CAUSE for the vertigo. I have documented hearing loss and tinnitus (both recognized by VAC), and since been diagnosed with Meniere's disease. The problem seems to be that none of my doctors (GP or specialist) can say for sure that the Meniere's, which causes vertigo, relates directly to my service...especially since the cause of Meniere's is not known. It's a vicious circle which I not only find frustrating, but it would have my head spinning if I didn't already have vertigo. lol
Anyhow, sorry for the long blast here. I'm wondering if anyone else has had experience with vertigo or meniere's claims? I would very much like to hear for you if so.
Thanks in advance.
