Do grand-mal epilepsy patients qualify to become registered disabled?

Yes definitely.
Violent seizure which can come on even while the person is taking medication for this epileptic disorder, can be a danger to self and others. Self-- falling, and others-- driving a vehicle. Social security benefits are given to the person who suffers from this disorder.

JDK--can I ahve your real name so I cna report you fo fraud---you say you are collecting SSI, but can WORK--that is fruad--SSI is for people that cannot work.

It sounds more like you are referring to teh UK with your terminology...

in the US--yes it is a disability---the levels of service depend on the severity---

someone with occassional seizures should not qualify for disability payments--but may qualify for support services such as vocational rehab or supposed protection under the ADA


someone with frequent seizures WHO CANNOT work would qualify for SSI/SSDI (support payments)
