That will depend on a number of factors, like where the person lives and the severity of their epilepsy. For most people epilepsy does not have any major impact on their lives, so they are able to study or work and earn a living for themselves, so they have no need of any benefits. They would be able to earn a lot more than any benefits they would get and are better off not being on any.
The nature of epilepsy is that a person having it is perfectly fine the vast majority of the time so they can live very normal lives, unlike someone who is blind or confined to a wheelchair, which affects them continuously. It is for illnesses that have major impacts on lives that people are most likely to need and get benefits. For the vast majority of people with epilepsy that is not the case.
As epilepsy can for some people be a lifelong condition, their medication might be subsidised. The person would need to talk to their doctor and local health authority about these kinds of things as this does not apply everywhere.

Do seizures cause reading disability?
Not directly. If someone has Epilepsy it maybe as a result of some damage to the brain. If they have some damage to the brain, that may impair their ability to learn. In that situation, their epilepsy is just another symptom of the same thing that is causing their learning difficulties. Not everyone that has learning difficulties has epilepsy. Most people with epilepsy are well capable of learning and it has no impact on their capacity to learn. If their epilepsy causes them to miss out on regular education, which would only be with someone who has severe epilepsy, that will obviously affect their learning.
What are the disabilities of a person that has seizure's?
People with epilepsy do not have a disability. The majority of people with epilepsy live perfectly normal lives. It is only when they are having a seizure that their epilepsy affects them. There may be very long periods between their seizures: months or even years. Some people with more severe epilepsy and who get seizures more frequently do have certain restrictions on what they may be able to do, like driving, but this would not be regarded as a disability.

How did his dissability affect him Julius Caesar's?
Julius Caesar had no disability. Towards the end of his life he was supposed to have suffered from "epilepsy", but his is questionable as the term epilepsy was used by the ancient writers for medical conditions they did not understand.

How do you let a potential employer know that you have a disability like epilepsy without jeopardizing your chances of employment?
Unless they ask you directly, you don't have to tell them. And if they do ask you, they can't choose not to hire you because of your epilepsy. After you are hired, it is probably a good idea to tell them for safety reasons. I disagree! For your safety and those around you,tell them! Should they choose to fire you, sue them for discrimination. A few restrictions could apply ( for safety) but I would not call epilepsy a disability to the point of not being able to work. I have epilepsy, for 22 years, and still working! When you are applying for employment in Canada (at least in the teaching profession) you have to inform them about your epilepsy. It is a health and safety issue. I have epilepsy (for 38 years now) and found that honesty is the best policy. Once the issue is out in the open many people are interested in the topic and ask you questions about it. Just be prepared to reassure employers and coworkers that it does not affect your work performance.
