Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / February 2004epilepsy and the ADA
Does anyone know whether the ADA recognizes seizure disorders as a disability and whether one would be qualified for ssi or Medicare disability? TO both of your questions yes. Epilepsy is covered under the ADA and also if the seizures are bad enough to prevent you from working then yes for SSI or Medicare, I am receiving SSDI now since I am unable to work anymore. Hope this helps. Ann The full text of the Americans with Disabilities Act is on line. The status of people with epilepsy is also under attack again because epilepsy can be controlled with drugs in some cases. Search the subject for recent news articles and you will see what I mean. I quit reading this group last year because of the insipid posts about England and irrelevant noise some posters think is clever. It is still going on. It may be fun for some, but this is where people look for information on epilepsy, not flatulence about presumptuous British "humor". Don't bother to reply about this comment. I'm not interested and, really, it isn't that important. There are other places to get information on the subject when you need it. > Does anyone know whether the ADA recognizes seizure disorders as a > disability and whether one would be qualified for ssi or Medicare > disability? > I quit reading this group last year because of the insipid posts about > England and irrelevant noise some posters think is clever.

FLATULENCE. lighten up, light one up! That message was posted ~6? days ago or longer? Perhaps you can get a newsreader that's more up to date. **** The junk being posted at the time had little to nothing to do with a few of the newer people trying to get through to get information about their new lifestyle. Your post bottom had exactly what? to do with living with epilepsy? (I took out extra line breaks-- guess your isp don't do that either.) And cox.net is a U.S. ISP ? The fellow who posted the message that regaled you so much used to work at a U.S. Newspaper. When they found out he was newly diagnosed with Epilepsy, they fired him.

The social security administration has online publications at http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/englist.html Here's another link regarding the ADA and epilepsy http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/programs/jobtalk/ADA.cfm Barb
