Seizures and Social Security Disability Claims

By California Disability Law Office – Serving Los Angeles, CA

Living with seizures can significantly impact your daily life and limit your ability to work, even if you don’t feel disabled. From being unable to drive on LA’s busy highways to avoiding jobs around unprotected heights or operating heavy machinery, your career options may be severely restricted. Unfortunately, many seizure-related disability claims are denied by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Why Seizures Disability Claims Are Often Denied

The SSA frequently denies disability claims for seizures due to two main factors:

• Frequency of Seizures: If your seizures are not deemed frequent enough, your claim is likely to be denied.
• Failure to Follow Prescribed Treatment: The SSA requires evidence that you are following your prescribed medical treatment plan. Deviations from this plan can result in a denial.

When assessing your case, the SSA will require comprehensive medical records, including documentation from your physician detailing the frequency and nature of your seizures. Additionally, the SSA may request statements from family members or friends who have witnessed your seizures.

Strict SSA Requirements

The SSA’s criteria for approving seizure-related disability claims are exceptionally strict. Any missing documentation or inconsistencies in your application can result in a denial. The process is so challenging that many people simply give up.
