Epilepsy

The Social Security Administration considers the problem of epilepsy as a convulsive disorder. Those who suffer from epilepsy may well be able to file for and receive disability benefits. Both Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income will pay monthly benefits that are most welcome, as in order to be considered for disability benefits you cannot be gainfully employed. You must also give Social Security all of the information they seek. They will ask about your epilepsy as well as any other health problem you may have. There will be questions about your work history as well as your education history. The answers to these questions are used to help Social Security decide if you are truly disabled. If you do have other health problems besides epilepsy, make sure that you list them on the application form. All of your ailments will be considered together in order to make a fair decision.
