I, ---------, was in the Army from 1962 through 1965 My Army Serial Number is ---------. My MOS was a rifleman for one year and a machine gunner for two years. I probably shot 1000+ ammo boxes of 30-caliber machine gun shells. My ears have been ringing since I became a machine gunner. My left ear has never ceased to ring. I have spells of vertigo dating back to 1963 but I can't prove it because only candies went to the dispensary from my outfit. My family doctor from 1966 to 1980 died and we cannot get his records but I do have records from 1980 to date that describes hearing loss, vertigo, Meniere's Disease, and all of these symptoms severe since 1985. I am presently being treated at the V A Hospital for all of the above.
At the present time I stagger, I can't ride elevators, I can't fly, and I can't ride in an automobile unless I am driving and then there can't be any curvy roads. My left ear rings constantly, I can hardly understand anything that most people say and I get sick looking at wall paper with various colors and even shadows from trees across the highway while driving. When I turn over in bed, at times I get sick. If I am startled and have to turn my head to the left or to the right quickly, I will fall in that direction. If I look up, I fall backwards. However, I can look down. I can hardly watch sports on TV because of the movements of the players in so many directions at one time plus the colors of the uniforms make me sick. I can go on but I think you get the point. My best time is sitting straight up in a straight back chair.
Sincerely,

Fact: mr---------- was diagnosed with Meniere's disease with symptoms dating back to the Army. Fact: :Mr. ---------'S hearing has continued to decrease as evidenced by his audiograms which is consistent with Meniere's disease .

It is highly probable to this daim of the nexus between service and his current medical condition. In my opinion, the currently existing medical conditions of hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus and diagnosed meniere's disease are related to an injury, disease or event occurring during the veteran's military service.

I have a case before the rating board now, but was advised to go ahead and file this claim. As can be seen I am not to good at copy and pasting, as1 through 6 proves
The first page is a cover sheet and I sent documentatin of everything. I verified it was put in the ro's computer on the 27th of jan 2007.
I thought that perhaps this could help someone else in preparing a claim. This along with corrections by you Guys.
