Pensions
Last checked 26/11/2008
This information applies to people in the UK only. If you live outside the UK, then more information about epilepsy and employment where you are will be available from your local epilepsy organisation.
People with epilepsy are entitled to the same pension rights as any other employee and cannot be excluded from company schemes just because they have epilepsy. The Disability Discrimination Act covers pension services. More information is available from the Pensions Advisory Service.
