I suggest you list all of these issues in less technical terms. You don't want to sound like you found a list on the internet and copied it.

Traumatic brain injury
....................Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
PCS..............Post Concussion Syndrome to include:
....................Migraine headaches Migraine head aches (list frequency)
Attention/concentration deficit
....................Difficulty staying focused on a task
Frontal Lobe and Executive Function deficit
....................Leave this out. It should be in a doctors report unless you just
....................say, I struggle with decision making.
Memory Loss
....................Is this post traumatic amnesia ? or
....................Difficulty with short term memory
Anxiety ........Subject to anxiety attacks from sensory over-stimulation
Nausea ........Nausea (list frequency)
dizziness ......Dizziness (list frequency)
Panic attacks See anxiety
mental and physical fatigue
....................Easily mentally fatigued
....................Easily physically fatigued
irritability ......Easily upset
brain fog ......Feel like my brain is in a fog
sleep disturbances
....................Insomnia with unsettled sleep when I do fall asleep
visual disturbances ?????
tinnitus .........Tinnitus
hyperacusis ..Sensitive to sound
photobia .......Sensitive to light
vertigo see Dizziness

This application is about your ability to hold a job, not about your health so it helps to list your symptoms as to how they effect you ability to hold a job.

So, categorize these issues as
Directly effects my ability to hold/do a job
memory
sensitive to sound
difficulty staying on task


In-directly effects my ability to hold/do a job
sleep
tinnitus

Do you have a report from a Neuro Psych Assessment ?
