It's unclear if you're currently receiving disability benefits. If you are, an increase may be possible if your condition has worsened. To apply for an increase, contact the Social Security Administration and provide updated medical records and information on how your disability affects your ability to work. The process involves filing forms, providing medical records, and potentially having a medical exam. It can take 3-5 months for a decision. If you aren't already receiving benefits, you'll need to apply. The process requires filing forms, providing medical records spanning at least 12 months, and documentation of your work history. Approval often takes multiple attempts. Supporting letters from doctors explaining how epilepsy affects you can help. Appeal rejections and keep trying. Many find legal help useful.

If you are looking into disability.. look into SSDI not social security they are two different things. What I can suggest, do a search on Google for SSDI and you should get some information right to the office along with the needed links.

There is specific paperwork you will need to fill out and specific questions that you will need to answer.
