Re: [epilepsy] non driver

 

Ep is becoming harder to get a disability for. I tried three times in
different states. I am now 47 and have other problems due to the ep. I
have osteoarthritis due to all the falling.

The drs now tell me to hire an attorney and go for it. The drs say I
will qualify now, but I don't know if I will be refused due to my
husband's income.

I have not been allowed to work since 2001. Good luck.
