Vertigo is a balance disorder that involves the inner ear, brain, and the pathways that connect the two organs. Vertigo is characterized by a feeling of motion when an individual is actually standing still. Vertigo can be broken down into two categories: Peripheral vertigo and Central vertigo.
Peripheral vertigo is characterized by intermittent episodes of vertigo which may become so severe that walking or standing is difficult. A common cause of peripheral vertigo is a disease of the inner ear known as Meniere’s disease.
Central vertigo is more constant and is characterized by symptoms that are less severe. Common causes of central vertigo might include multiple sclerosis and migraines. However, central vertigo may also be the result of trauma, stroke, or infection. Treatment options depend on the cause of the vertigo, and may include medication, exercises, surgery, and balance therapy.
Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of Vertigo?
Answer: The Social Security Administration's disability evaluation system does not focus on a claimant's diagnosis, but, rather, on the functional limitations a claimant has. In other words, the name of the condition is not the chief consideration. How the condition "affects and limits: the indiviual is the primary concern. So, yes, disability benefits can be won on the basis of nearly any condition provided that the condition is sufficiently limiting.
