Job
Fri, 03/06/2015 - 20:29I just recently got a offer from a company. This is computer position and computers have never bothered me with regards to my disaility.
I only have a problem when it comes to sleep and when I get to over tired.
My question would be is when filling out the form for acceptance , do I mark down that I have a disability since the tasks do not bother me.
This is a position where they will do a drug screen and figure out what drugs I am on.

I never used my epilepsy as being a handicap when I was working. I did inform the people doing the drug tests that I was a epileptic and gave them th information about the medications I took and dosage levels. I worked in call centers and as long as I did the work I was fine. If you really want more information you can call the 24/7 help hot line. It is a free call and they can help you with this issue.Also know that if you put information about beinhg handicaped in your application they shouldn't use it against you since most companies are required to hire the handicapped .They can get benefits by hiring the handicappped
