The disadvantage of this situation is that she has had them in the past and it may cause her to not be able to get a job because they would be concerned about having a seizure in the past.

The advantage of this situation is by letting them know ahead of time that in the past she had seizures shows responsibility and letting them know that she has not had one in six years and that she regularly goes to the doctors could possibly cancel out the worry from before and they will hire her more likely then they would if she was lying about history and they didn't find out until later when it is too late.
