Yes it is reportable under RIDDOR as a prescribed occupational disease if it has been professionally diagnosed. It is Number 14- but you need to identify what work was involved

Hi,
Just for your info.

VWF is reportable after it has been confirmed by a health professional qualified to do so.
It is outlined on Page 107 - Appendix 1 of the Guidance Notes.
