July 18, 2025 – DoD has set policies on claims for compensation from federal and military personnel and family members for health effects of “Havana Syndrome”—a catchall term for symptoms such as severe headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus and vertigo, whose origin remains under dispute.
Technically termed “anomalous health incidents,” Havana Syndrome was so named because the first widely reported cases occurred there. But cases have also been reported in a dozen other countries, in settings including workplaces, residences and even during daily commutes, the GAO reported last year.
In addition to DoD, cases have been reported by employees of the intelligence community, State, the FBI and other agencies.
