Vertigo and Mental health

Strange question but reason I ask is I have received my Subject Access paperwork . On reading the notes attatched to my AR1 pip review form it states " change of condition mental health , low dose medication ". the change in my condition was in fact severe vertigo and medication was prescribed high dose . Does Vertigo come under the heading Mental Health ?

Welcome to the Scope community and sorry to hear of your condition.
I world say, yes vertigo is a mental health condition but have a read through this link so you can decide:https://www.dizziness-and-balance.com/disorders/psych/psych.htm
gnmeads Thakyou I have just read the link you sent it was very informative .. I have suffered with Vertigo Meniere's disease hearing loss etc for many years and have never heard it labelled mental health . It certainly affects health mentally .
I have some experience with dizziness myself and suffer from very loud tinnitus, my father before me also suffered from dizziness at about the same age and which was possibly due to blood pressure low or high.
Unfortunately some such things are age related and virtually inevitable.
as my NHS ENT specialist in tinnitus said to me “it’s incurable, goodbye and good luck.”
