Post Traumatic Vertigo

[militarynurse]

Does anyone know if or can post concussion syndrome or tbi include vertigo?

Thank you.

Have same condition, yes vertigo is considered a residual of TBI,, and you can claim it as a residual on a va claim, must try to have some sort of diagnosis,,,

I had for equilibrium problems 20 years and finally got a diagnosis of superior canal dehiscence syndrome.   which had been causing my equilibrium and  dizzy,, and was not part of tbi syndrome  (IMO),,TBI causes the FOG,,,But ear conditions can cause the fog also,,   something to be aware of.. ..I have a  claim in now for it..    research the type of dizzy you have so you can relate it to doctors better ,, many types from spins to feeling off.. each with a different name. Describing correctly to doctor helps ,,, and all  are not fun at all...good luck

Soo I wasn’t SC for vertigo but I’m sure that’s the C and P this disability fell under but I’m service connected for Dizziness and lightheadedness at 30% with my 100% TBi
