Eric Gunnels : Disability denied in spite of legitimate proof.

After proof being provided Eric Gunnels was denied disability. He has convulsive epilepsy and has never had a drivers license because of said medical issue. He has provided proof of ongoing seizures and has had seven seizures in the past 10 days. He has lost three jobs in past year due to seizures at work yet since it is illegal to fire him his hours were "reduced". He has been compliant with medication and his family pays out of pocket to provide him with care and medication. He is 24 yrs old yet will be penalized for not having health insurance come tax time. We are asking for help. He is not the only person who is affected by current health law changes and who honestly wants to get better. Without state assistance for the opportunity to receive quality healthcare his situation will not improve and could possibly become worse. Please support this effort.

Why is this important?

Petition to grant Eric Gunnels eligibility for disability due to epilepsy.
