Epilepsy and Social Security Disability Claims
People who suffer from epilepsy may have a difficult time maintaining employment, as unpredictable and violent seizures can leave them incapacitated with no warning. If you suffer from epilepsy and have questions about obtaining Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, the attorneys at the law firm of Coats & Todd are here to help. We have more than 40 years of combined experience helping people throughout Texas and nationwide with Social Security Disability claims and appeals.

How Is Epilepsy Affecting Your Ability to Work?
According to Social Security regulations, in order for epilepsy to be covered:
- Convulsive seizures must occur more than once per month
- Convulsive seizures must involve loss of consciousness
- Non-convulsive seizures must involve loss of consciousness or significant disorientation
- Seizures occurring at night must significantly interfere with the sufferer's daytime activities (if he or she works during the day)
- Seizures must occur despite the claimant's taking prescribed medication and following doctor's orders
If these conditions apply to you, they must be thoroughly documented to present to the SSA. Our Social Security Disability lawyers know how to gather evidence the SSA finds relevant and how to present it to them in a compelling light. We will put our skill and experience to work for you, to help you obtain the benefits you need and deserve.
