Disability Information for Blepharospasm Patients
Updated 2006
Some people who are severely affected by blepharospasm or Meige and who do not find sufficient relief with injections or other medications, find it impossible to continue with their jobs. In some cases they resign because of their inability to perform their jobs; in other cases they are terminated by their employers.
BEBRF (Benign Essential Blepharospasm Research Foundation) has a packet of
material available at no charge for those patients who are considering
filing for Disability under the Social Security Act. Following are copies of
some of the material which is included in the packet. Some brochures and
publications that are included in the packet are very important but do not
lend themselves to reproduction here. Patients who are considering making an
application for disability under the Social Security programs are urged contact the Foundation for the full packet.
