I recently had a seizure at work during a detail. I went to the hospital, got checked out and tested, and was placed on a Deadman profile.
This is not my first seizure in the army, I've had 4 since I came back from deployment in 2019, however this is my first documented. I've had witnesses to the other 3 and came clean about them while being tested for this last one. Do I qualify for a medical discharge? If so how much disability could I expect to receive?

First the Army will try to see what is wrong with you and try to patch up. The Army doesn't just discharge you and push you off to the VA. It may take a while but if they deem they can't return you to duty or reclass you into a another MOS then they will initiate a MED Board. That will take some time. Just try to get taken care. The first step is to find out what is going on. When you start the process then you can worry about it.

Had a Ranger Buddy that had seizures. They couldn't figure out what caused them so they MEBd him. Think he had 3 or 4 before they admitted defeat and started the MEB paperwork.

SGT (Join to see) Document, Document, Document(NOW), & find you a Veterans Organization to seek the advice of their Sevice Officer. No way of telling your monthly benefit because you would have to know the % disability... then Patience, Patience, Patience... it's a slow process. Good Luck with your healt & claim.
