Thank you both for your service. A couple of strong courageous men. We appreciate everything you do. I am just your average citizen. I have not served. I am a 52 year old woman in medical. Helpful video 😊
USAF Desert Storm. I just want to share I received an unexpected letter yesterday. Without my knowledge, the VA review my case and determined my rating as 100% total and permanently disabled. Does that mean I don't have to worry about C & P's anymore? I have to say the state of Massachusetts's VA programs are some of the best. They have really taken care of me and guided me through the process. I only encountered one individual that really needs to find another job. He was very sketchy and full of ego.
I have to completely agree. Just be honest. Stop sucking it up, and really tell them what is going on. KEEP A JOURNAL. SHARE IT. You can upload it for your claim. Document. Document. Document.
I was diagnosed w/ meniere's 2011. 6 years Marine Infantry and 10% for Menieres. I get dizzy with simple positional changes...And have migraines. Service conneected 0% for TBI they deferred percentage....When I was in Marines dead sober and room would spin on 2 axises...also have absence seizures...burn pit and Persian Gulf exposure...Westpac in 93 Mogadishu and Persian Gulf 95...Persian Gulf, Red Sea, UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain...
I was rated 💯 percent back in 2016 due to hearing loss, tinnitus and Meniere’s. The episodes of vertigo I have sometimes drains all my energy. If I could be whole with no ailments I’ll gladly give back the 💯 percent rating. However unfortunately there is no fix or cure for Meniere’s so it’s with me for life. ✌🏾
It all started out with tinnitus and hearing problems. My private ENT Doctor stated I might have Meinere’s. So I went to the VA and went through the process of being examined for my hearing and tinnitus. The VA Doctor determined the same. From that point I filed a claim with evidence to back up from the symptoms and sick call records I had while on active duty. In addition I researched and read other similar claims. I hope this helps you ✌🏾.
Yes they examined inside my ears. When they sent me out for a C&P it was a private Doctor. He was very old and meticulous. The exam took almost 3 hours. But it was well worth it. ✌🏾
Yes, I agree with you. I would prefer to work and not have this Meniere's deseases, but this disease has made me lose many opportunities to become employed.
love the content guys. I have just over a year left on AD before I can retire so i'm doing all my homework now. I just had a vertigo incident last week that sent me to the ER after I collapsed. This video was SUPER insighful for when i get out and start my claims. Take care and Happy Holidays!

Came across this video, very interesting. Im 10% for tinnitus . I have told my v.a. doctor about my vertigo and she even said i may have menieres but the v.a. doesnt want to hear about it. I have vertigo about 3 to 4 times a day and the confusing dizzy spells that is not vertigo where i cant mentally focus on conversations and such daily also. I went to an advocate and they werent interested in hearing about it because they said it had to be service connected so that went nowhere. I've all but givin up and just be happy about my 10% because nobody will listen. My longest episode of severe vertigo that threw me out of bed lasted a week.i have migranes about 12 times a month randomly. Im a mechanic and this has made my working life pretty tough to do but i have no choice but to work. I thought i was alone with this but im glad to see this video. Dan U.S. CAVALRY 1986-1990

FYI It is a long process getting diagnosed. Then there is the VA process. I saw about 10 different doctors/ professors. Family doc, ENT, Michigan ear institute, University of Michigan, Wayne State University of oncology, and a trip to Chicago to see the guru of ear problems, before a final diagnosis. Thanks VA Claims Insider You don't find a lot of info on this claim.
@@donaldhyden1378 oh damn, i didnt know it was that long of a process. interesting. yea, you dont find a lot of videos on the ear issues. Im glad they did one on this topic.
If the VA diagnosed you with a health problem such as sleep apnea, do you need a nexus letter to file a claim? Sleep apnea wasn't heard of 50 years ago. Also va has given me a cpap machine too.
You won't need a Nexus letter if you can prove that your sleep apnea was caused by your time in service. But if there's no documentation that your sleep apnea is due to your service, then we would recommend that you get a Nexus letter.
It's very hard to have a doctor that will help veterans I have both tinnitus and hearing loss I have all those sign trying to have a doctor state that i have this disease ...

You mentioned to "...Go to see a doctor to report your symptoms of Miniers Disease...". But when Veterans do the doctors are always noting in medical records that the Veteran is self diagnosing having Miniers Desease symptoms.
If you have all the symptoms, your doctor has a duty to diagnose you. Whether you have self diagnosed or not should not matter if you are correct in your assumptions.
I have Tinnitus and 10% VA disability rating. I have balancing or vertigo and hearing loss in right ear. I have a C&P for the hearing loss coming up, thought hearing aid might help stop the ringing and dizziness vertigo sounds like your saying I’ll still have to address the vertigo with another claim.
I am service connected for tinnitus and hearing loss. I have an open (2nd) supplemental appeal for Meniere's and vestibular migraines. I have my C-file and it appears someone lost my STR. I have retained an attorney who attempted to SC secondary to tinnitus. My C and P examiner opined that both were(due to my service-connected tinnitus) BVA requested that she revisit her rational as it was not clear. They asked her for an addendum. They ask her if my Meniere's was "a correction of, a progression of, or a different diagnosis of the service-connected Tinnitus?" She stated it was a "correction of" the service-connected Tinnitus and Tinnitus and migraines are secondary to Meniere's. This sounds like she service connected me for Meniere's...I think... Any thoughts?? I am at 140 days with my appeal. Also, note it took me about a year in 2011 to be diagnosed with Meniere's and Migraine's. It is a process of elimination and many tests at different places. I also had Endolymphatic sac decompression surgery in early 2012 and am disabled via SSD since 2012.
I am an 87 year old Korean war, no combat, vet. I have a 10% for Tinnitus & 0% for hearing loss. I had my first wonderful experience with Vertigo, terrifying. I am constantly in fear of it happening again especially while driving. I have all the symptoms of Menier's accept multiple vertigo. I am having trouble being diagnosed with Menier's. Got having any ideas.
It might be helpful to see another doctor for a second opinion but if you can't get diagnosed with Meniere's, you could still file a claim for just vertigo.
More than 2 episodes per week is qualifying for va. However menieres goes into remission sometimes and comes back suddenly. I went 2 years after a severe series of attacks and it just came back with a vengence
I have tinnitus which is service connection at 10% at have vertigo and fluid in the ears, ear pressure and hearing loss because of the fluid in the ear from my last hearing test (which was done this month) Could this be a secondary condition?
@@VAClaimsInsider yep. im at 90%. Waiting for them to connect my sleep apnea secondary to asthma which im already SC for. Med opinon was in my favor so just waiting for them to write the decision so Ill be officially at 100%.
I love your videos. Keep up the good work. I have a question. I am 50 % service connected for a few things . Next week I have a C % P exam for severe Vertigo. I think I'm in good shape because I have load of medical evidence and nexus letters from Neurologist. I am over 60 and often use a cane when my vertigo and other things act up. Should I bring my cane with me when I go to exam?? So many people have told me to bring it. Its never been officially prescribed by my Doctors but I've used it for years. Any advice or knowledge would be muchly appreciated. Thank you for listening .
Hi sir! Thank you for being here with us! I think this resource will be of great help preparing for your C&P exam! > vaclaimsinsider.com/10-expert-tips-to-dominate-your-c-and-p-exam/ You will find the answer to your question here!
US NAVY SUBMARINES 79/82After 39 years since my discharge i filed MST (PTSD) service connected and presented my evidence in which i remembered in fine detail, since i still dream about these events etc, Never wanting to discuss it, however at this time it seemed the right climate for males, so i did my process and recieved a 70 percent which is low and odd ? I and all of my friends and family expected 100. This was very fast also within 5 months . I havent been abel to work in decades, and suffer from rare diseases like gullian barre ,TN, and sever spinal stenosis lumbar and neck, with cronic pain managed by opioads also CHF with a pacer defibb . Thinking i should supplement file both (TDIU) and a rating increase at the same time?
I knew I had tinnitus I just did a claim today but vertigo I had no clue! I always thought I was dehydrated but drinking water never helped. Always dizzy everytime i stand up almost falling.
@benk4881 yes I did. So I filed vertigo they denied, claimed it wasn't in my service records. Mean time I applied for my C file im still waiting on that to arrive but...... I went to a exam a week ago and the examiner was so kind to go over my in service treatment records. I told her everything about what was going on with my records how they told me they were lost and nothing was noted in service. Well this lady said bs I'm looking at 600 pages of all of those issues and it's well documented and diagnosed. Fast forward to today I have a appointment with ent next week for balance test next month hearing test and something else in April all thru a private doc specifically looking at meniere's. So I'm basically at square 1 but using private docs. It's frustrating but that cp examiner was a life saver I really thought I was sol. But I'm getting that hundo one way or another no matter how much they fight I now know everything in my file its a matter of time now! BTW the vertigo cp exam got denied but they diagnosed bppv which I'm like what isn't that vertigo, but I researched bppv it's part of meniere's so maybe they blessed me.
Hello sir! Thank you for your feedback, this article might have the information you're looking for! > vaclaimsinsider.com/va-rating-for-vertigo-and-menieres-disease/
I have been denied already even tho everything ascerbates the "vertigo" issues I keep having but they do treat me ...if you are already reached 100% is there any reason to do anythibg?
I'm an active duty spouse. 52. I have Meniers.. Can I claim? it affected my last job and I lost it 2yrs ago, so I havnt gotten once since. I'm currently having a VNG dizzy test for a "diagnosis". I have permanent profound hearing loss now.
If you’re a veteran and your military service caused an injury or illness (or aggravated pre-existing conditions), you could qualify for a disability rating. Several criteria are needed to win a claim for a VA disability rating: You served in the military and have eligible military service. You have a medical diagnosis of your disability condition. Your disability was caused or made worse by your military service Current symptoms of your disability are active in present day. The severity of your condition (under the VA’s schedular rating system) will determine the percentage of your disability rating.
Just went though the process diagnosed with meineres and the va only gave me 10 percent was told buy my local va office that it must have been a mistake the minimum I should have received was 30 percent

I’m already 100% P&T for Graves’ disease and several other illnesses or disabilities. I also have mineers disease, as far as DIC & Survival Benefits, should I claim it mineers disease?

@@VAClaimsInsider Thank you. I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. I actually just had this revelation while watching your video. Been having a lot of those lately. In fact, my life is an absolute shit show.
We only get paid if you get an increase (and only with NEW money that you didn’t have before)! There aren't any upfront costs but when you win, we charge a portion of your increase. Our veterans say the fee is worth it, considering that so many of them spent years fighting for their benefits to no avail. If we don't increase your rating, we get $0. Take a look at the details here >> vaclaimsinsider.com/price-list/
You'd file for it as a secondary condition! Take a look at this resource to learn more >>> vaclaimsinsider.com/how-do-i-win-a-va-claim-secondary-to-tinntius/#3-secondary-menieres-syndrome-
I was told by a medical professional from Telemedica that a nexus letter for Ménière’s secondary to tinnitus was not possible. He wrote me a nexus direct to service and I was denied because no link to service. How can this be corrected..
