Epilepsy and Life Insurance

Sun, 02/18/2007 - 10:59
I had two sets of temporal lobe seizures 8 months ago. These were the only two of my life and I have had none since - completely controlled by medication (Lamictal). Does anyone have experience - positive or negative - with getting Life Insurance after seizures? I have it through work but want to increase the amount. Not quite sure what to expect. Would appreciate any experiences.

Spaznurse, I do not know what the specific laws might be, but I work for a company that provides group life insurance, and we never take coverage away from someone because they had a change in their medical condition. You may not be able to increase your coverage, though. What type of insurance policy do you have? hannah

I've never been in that senario, but I'm sure there companies that would provide Life Insurance for Epilepsy. You need to expect high costs for doing so and they may have restricted limits too like it's the case of car insurance. Good luck!
