Depends on the severity of your seizures and how much they affect your quality of life.

Also your doctor has to fill out the paperwork for you to get.

Thank you, my life has changed drastically I’m still trying to get through life as positively as possible. My memory is awful and I have a lot of pain from a fall I took years ago from a seizure.

I’m on disability but my seizures started when I was 10 years old so they’re preexisting. I also live with my parents and can’t work.
