I read your question and I understand your concern. Epilepsy doesn t mean that one shouldn t work. Perhaps some types of work are not indicated such as driving, or working in construction in high places, operating machinery in a factory and such, jobs which a seizure even if rare could mean a danger to yourself or others. An office job though presents no such risk and I see no reason not to do it. Of course on the other hand there are cases when the seizures are frequent and it could be an obsctacle to the normal continuation of the office activity, that depends on the frequency of seizures. If too frequent it would affect work I m afraid. What is considered by law as justification for not working and getting disability pay is subjective and the regulations might differ from one country to the other. In my country usually if you have 2 generalized seizures a week even after trying several treatment schemes qualify for work disability. I hope things will work out for the best.
