| Discretionary | If well on the day, even if on treatment to prevent attacks, accept. |
| Additional Information | Meniere's disease affects about one in a thousand people and is due to middle ear damage. Attacks can be accompanied by vertigo (a feeling of dizziness and of things spinning around). It is not thought that donation causes attacks. Providing a person with Ménière's disease is well at the time of donation, and there are no other factors that would lead to their deferral, they should be accepted. |
| Reason for change | The statement, 'even if on treatment to prevent attacks,' has been added to 'Discretionary'. 'Additional Information' has been added. |
