Common Reasons why SSA Claims for Seizures are Denied

Unfortunately, there are many people who suffer from seizures and do not have their claims honored. This can leave individuals and their families struggling to make ends meet. Because of this, it is vital for everyone who is considering an SSA claim to understand why these claims are denied so that these mistakes can be avoided.

Common Reasons for a Denial of an SSA Claim

Perhaps the most common reason why an SSA claim is denied is that the individual is not taking their anti-seizure medication as prescribed by their doctor. For a claim to be honored, the individual needs to be taking their seizure medication properly. In order to make this decision, the judge is going to look at the reports of compliance before making his or her decision. This could include:

The individual is refilling their medication at the pharmacy at an expected rate
The person is seeing their doctor on a regular basis
The levels of the anti-seizure medication in the bloodstream is appropriate
People have been taking illicit or illegal substances, which can also be detected in the bloodstream and could cause a seizure

There are many people who are not willing to try a new medication that has been recommended by their doctor. Some people may even stop taking their medication because they think that the medication has “cured” his or her seizure disorder. Others could have weighed the risks of the seizure against the side effects of the medication and decided to stop the medication altogether. While these may seem like “good” reasons to not take a medication, it is important to remember that seizures can be deadly. People should take their medication as prescribed. Judges know this as well. Therefore, they may deny an SSA claim because of an individual’s failure to comply with their prescribed medication regimen.

     Trying to navigate Social Security on my own seemed futile.  It can be a long arduous process. My experience with Marva Match and her team was nothing short of outstanding! There were a lot of complexities involved with my case and they didn’t give up. I’m extremely grateful to Marva for advocating on my behalf.  I highly recommend Match Disability Law to anyone going through this process.

     My attorney at Match Disability approached my case with compassion. She showed genuine concern for me and my family. In the end she pushed my claim through and it was approved in about six weeks. This will not be the same scenario for many claimant's unfortunately, but my story is proof of the genuine care these attorneys have for their clients. Contacting Match Disability is one of the best decisions I've made.

     We have hired Match Disability Law on two different occasions for two separate cases.  Both times all of the staff were very helpful and courteous to us as we navigated the difficult Social Security Disability appeals process.  I know that it is because of their caring dedication to their clients that both of our cases were approved.  Marva and her staff do an excellent job at representing their clients.  We recommend them to anyone looking for help after receiving a denial for SS disability benefits.  I would give more stars if I could.  We are forever grateful for their firm.

     I had a disappointing experience with Ms. Match. At the commencement of our experience together I had some conversations with some of her staff. They were professional, and courteous. However, when it came time for the hearing I had two or three phone conversations with Ms. Match in which she was short, rude and condescending - not what I would expect from a professional who has chosen to work with those in very desperate and vulnerable situations. My claim was ultimately denied following the hearing and I had received very little counsel in the nearly twenty or so months it took from applying to the hearing. I feel as though if I had received better counsel I could have won my case as my medical history clearly demonstrates a serious medical issue. I have given two stars instead of one because my dealings with her staff were positive.
