Can I Receive Benefits For Seizures?

When you suffer from seizures, disability in Massachusetts can provide you valuable income. This income can help you deal with the need to limit your job functions so that your co-workers and yourself are not put at risk of something going wrong on a job site if you have a seizure. The Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) program in Massachusetts is meant to help limit these risks and provide you the income you need to live.

What If I Am Denied?

Receiving a denial letter in the mail can be frustrating and heartbreaking, but it is important to know that you still have options. You first action should be to appeal the decision against you. When you submit your appeal, it is critical that you include all of the necessary pieces of paperwork and documentation. Here are a few things you will need to make your appeal stronger:

  • A statement from your doctor
  • Proof that you have followed all treatments and prescriptions (this can include blood tests to show that your medication levels remained constant)
  • Documentation of your frequency and severity of seizures
  • Statements from your family and friends or any third party that has seen your seizures
