So I had my general C&P exams done by a QTC General Practice Doc. I went in, he started as expected and went down the list of conditions while asking me questions about them. Here is where it becomes odd. After finishing the Muscle Skeletal exam (ROM) he ended the exam without talking about my boardable condition which is Menieres Disease. Not a single question was asked. While exiting I asked him about it and he said that he will look at the treatment records. Fast forward 5 days, I call QTC's front desk and ask about the results and voiced my concerns. The lady pulled up the DBQ and as I had and told me hat the doc selected VERTIGO, HEARING IMPAIRMENT, TINNITUS, STAGGERING. Unfortunately he did NOT select hearing impairent associated with vertigo and CEREBELLAR GAIT, which is essential for a rating above 30%. So I faxed then my private ENT Doc's memo that states that I have ATAXIC GAIT during episodes. The next they the lady spoke with the Doc and he told her that the file had already been submitted. The DBQ does mention staggering and gait issues, but he did not select Cerebellar gait. Does anyone have advice in what I could do at this point to prove the CEREBELLAR GAIT? Any advice is much appreciated !

I am on active duty AF for 12 years now and starting to undergo a MEB for Ménière’s Disease that started at the beginning if the year. Although I meet the critera for 100% sine I was diagnosed by an ent off base, I am concerned about the C&p exam. In the docs notes it stated that I have 2-3 episodes a week with fullness. An ringing in the ears. In one instance he also mentions that I have an aaxix gait during the episodes. Use 6205 outline cerebellar gait. I am wondering if ataxic gait is specific enough. I have also do eninhections that unfortunately have not helped much. Any advice or recommendation is greatly appreciated. Happy Veterans Day! .
