What benifits can I get?
Hi Michael
The benefits you might get depends on your epilepsy and how it affects you. It also depends on where you live. We can only comment on epilepsy benefits for people living in the UK.
In the UK benefits can vary depending on which UK country you live in. If you are from the UK, you can go to the link and then click on the UK country you are in. This is where you’ll find general information about benefits. At the bottom of the page of each UK country, there are details of organisations where further benefit advice can be found.
If you aren’t from the UK, you could contact the epilepsy organisation in your country, who may be able to advise you.
I hope this helps.
