Nice to know but it seems that there are not that many beefits available. I have been self employed in Spain for 15 years but now my business has ceased it appears I am not entitled to any form of benefit at all nor would a Spanish person in the same situation

Autonomos workers have had poor benefits in Spain historically. Anyways, there is a new Law for autonomous workers. We will be pleased to check on your situation.

I am paying into the Spanish system and have been for a year or two. I then "came down with" Epilepsy and am unable to drive and carry out my job as I worked with children and the symptoms are not fully controlled, also being alone for me for prolonged periods is not good as my balance is affected.

To get to the real question, can I get the equivalent of Employment and Support Allowance (the old Incapacity Benefit)?

We would need to see the medical report on your eplillepsy to confirm on the possibility. Very likely you do.
