Hi Melissa,

Although we are uncertain as to the exact legal issues surrounding this, we believe your epilepsy should cause no problem to you gaining a licence.

This, of course, is something which you should check with your relevant doctor, who may be required to 'sign off' in the event of you obtaining a licence (as with a driver's licence).

However, your best course of action is to contact the BASC, who should be able to provide you with the full information about this.

Hope this helps,

Barny
