Marty,
Yes, I collect SSDI. I was 34 and healthy up until 1996 when I caught a
virus that put me in the hospital and I came out with epilepsy and leg and
balance trouble. I Applied in 1998 from Indiana and was awarded it in April
of 1999, with back pay.
I can to work due to stress and exhaustion bring on seizures, which all goes
along with working for living. (Smile)
It was hard at first not being able to drive anymore and I lived in our home
town at the time a very small town. You could walk to everything but once
again walking alone is not the best thing but being so small they did not
have a bus system.
I received a seizure alert dog back than and he helped me get my
independence back to where I could live on my own. Tagert has since passed
and I know have my second service dog Rocky.
Have a good weekend everyone,
Jewl, TX

Subject: [epilepsy] Has anyone been denied life insurance due to having
Epliepsy????
I'm In Ma. State. My wife works for a school. She hadto put me on her
medical insurance due to our Gov. taking things away from us disabled
people. She tried to add me to her life insurance plan. Minnesota
LifeInsurance Co. . They turned me down only due to ahveing the seizures. So
i am wondering if anyone else ahd this happen due to only having the seizure
disorder. I also donot work due to sight loss too.
