Disabilities resulting from vestibular disorders are common and the effect on a person’s life can be immense. People suffering from a vestibular disability can become unable to drive or perform the requirements of daily activities of living such as shopping or cleaning, let alone perform their jobs.
Because there are often no objective findings to support vestibular disorders insurance companies will often challenge long-term disability claims relating to them. Often your doctor’s evidence will not be enough and you’ll require the evidence of an otolaryngologist (ENT) or neurologist to prove your claim.
