[epilepsy] Disability

 

I have a couple of general questions about being on disability.
First, how does one determine for themselves that they are disabled
enough to go on disability? I don't consider Megan to be disabled at
all, but I do worry about her being able to get and hold a job if we
can't get her seizures under good control. So what are the standards
in terms of epilepsy? I am pretty sure Megan wouldn't qualify, but
want to understand it a little better, especially since epilepsy has
such a range of effects on people.

My second question is whether or not you can earn any money while on
disability? And if so, what are the limits?

My third question is really for parents. Have any of you started some
kind of trust fund for your child with epilepsy, so that they would
have some money to fall back on when you are gone?

Take care,
