I have dizziness, tinnitis and balance problems and alanto-occipital pain as a result of TMJD and Musculoskeletal disorder of cervical origin. This is what the C&P examiner listed in my exam results. I have a claim in for retro-orbital Headaches, Vertigo, Bruxism and jaw pain, Cervical DDD w/radiculopathy and Cervical Dystonia. I realize that a lot of these seem to overlap symptoms. Before anyone asks, yes they are in my SMR's and this is my initial claim post retirement.
Will the dizzines/stumbling/tinnitis be rated analogous to a peripheral vestibular disorder and be secondary to TMJD? I know that there is some literature to suggest that ALL of these conditions to include the Dystonia can be caused by TMJD.
The other question I have is that the examiner listed no ROM for Mandibular Function. Isn't TMJ rated base on ROM and other symptoms secondary?
