Why a Seizure Diary Matters for Your Epilepsy Disability Claim
Reviewed by Gretchen Johnson, J.D., LL.M.
Epilepsy claims often come down to one question: how often? A seizure diary answers it.
| What to log | Example |
|---|---|
| Date and time | Oct 3, 7:15 am |
| Type | Convulsive, lost consciousness |
| How long | About 2 minutes |
| Recovery | Confused and exhausted for 4 hours |
| Who saw it | My sister |
When should I write it down?
Every time, the same day if you can. Even small seizures count.
Who should see it?
Your neurologist, at every visit. That makes it part of your medical record.
