[QUOTE="slsh, post: 223411, member: 8"] Fran - I think all he can do is follow the appeals process. I would think that the GP's primary mission, not to be too cynical, would be to safeguard employer against liability. Playing devil's advocate, easy child is on medications for a reason in GP's eyes. If he didn't need them, he wouldn't be on them. Seizures are not predictable - even though in easy child's case, there was a very concrete cause that was addressed. What does neuro say about coming off medications? And would being off the medications change employer's mind about what limitations he has? And most importantly, is easy child willing to risk license in order to get dream job? It's a weighty decision for anyone, much less a 19 y/o. Kind of ridiculous for employer to say he can't do job because of "disability" but then turn around and deny disability pay. At the very least, they should have to abide by their agent's (GP's) opinion. I'm so sorry that his dream has been (hopefully temporarily) derailed. [/QUOTE]
