An employee has been signed off work for 2 months with vertigo. As far as we are aware (and from her health declaration) she had no previous history of vertigo.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "Disability Discrimination Act" - you may be referring to the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, which has just celebrated its 20th anniversary? You can find information about this federal law at this link: http://www.ada.gov/
In terms of an employee taking time off work to attend to a medical issue, you may be referring to the Family and Medical Leave Act, or FMLA, which covers all medical conditions. You can find information about FMLA here: http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/benefits-leave/fmla.htm
Why are you asking for this information? Are you this employee's supervisor?
