Can I quit because of epilepsy?

by Josh

I have epilepsy, it's not severe, but it's not a walk in the park either.

My job makes me work long hours (sometimes impossible to sit down and eat) and causes a lot of stress. It's also almost impossible for me to get on a regular sleeping schedule.

Stress, abnormal sleeping schedule, loss of sleep, and periods of fast all exacerbate epilepsy.

Is it possible get UI in Pennsylvania if I quit my job for these reasons?


Hi Josh,

You need medical documentation and you need to give the employer an opportunity to accommodate any medical restrictions.

To be on the safe side .. anyway.
