Social Security Disability and Epilepsy

Obtaining Social Security Disability benefits for a severe seizure disorder like epilepsy can be difficult, but it’s possible if you can prove it significantly impairs your ability to work—especially if your symptoms occur regularly opposed to sporadically.

How can you increase your chances of being approved? You can start by tracking your symptoms and keeping a written record of them, having a licensed medical professional monitor your case with written documentation to support his/her findings, and faithfully taking any prescribed medications for your condition.

Though documented medical records are the strongest evidence in proving the basis of an SSDI claim, a decision maker may seek information on the severity of your impairment from your friends and family members. So it’s important to keep close loved ones apprised of your condition should this be a factor in your case.
