Hi everybody. My husband is close to getting a decision on his SSDI case. My husband had a brain tumor removed and due to scar tissue that built up in the brain he is now left with seizures triggered from that surgery.

I took my husband to UCLA as his Nuerologist recommended. UCLA said yes they can do surgery, but its not a definate fix. Its about 80/20 % effective on controlling his seizures.

But the case worker recently asked us " Why wont my husband have brain surgery. Basically seizure surgery.

So my question is since he fears surgery in general and has not really been the same since his original surgery can SSA force one to have surgery? Or can they deny him for not having brain surgery?

To me 80/20 % sounds scary especially when its the brain. But some told me even if he gets on SSDI, SSA will give him issues at review time.

He is young-42. He also has Reactive Arthritis.

Any input/info would help

Thanks to all

And I hope your all well.
