How to Prepare for Your SSDI Hearing If You Have Epilepsy

Reviewed by Gretchen Johnson, J.D., LL.M.

Hearing day is your chance to tell your story. Let's make it count.

What will the judge ask?

• How often do seizures happen?
• What happens before, during and after?
• How long until you feel like yourself again?
• Do you take your medicine every day?

How do I get ready?

• Bring your seizure diary
• Talk about recovery time
• Explain missed doses honestly

Should I bring a witness?

If you can, yes. They can describe what you may not remember.
