Epilepsy and the driving rules

[@TeddySmashings]

You can actually send away to renew your license 3 months prior to the one year seizure free mark. I spoke to the DVLA and they told me about 3 months then I send all my stuff away and then seen this video and panicked so I rang them again today and then confirmed it as 3 months. Fingers crossed it all goes through properly and will finally be back on the road.

A great video. With regards to the questions at the end, my employer has placed me onto insurance because they find having a Disability to have for them to cope with. Would I still be able to apply for 'Access to Work?' or anything else?

Even if I didn’t have epilepsy I still wouldn’t be able to drive because I’m severely sight impaired but registered blind.
