0 mow59 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
