Posted By J Knight Hi Phillipe, It really depends on what the person is doing; there are for example legal restrictions on some activities, such as driving minibuses which are not subject to risk assessment, and of course there are ramifications about their actual state of health. Once a diagnosis of 'epilepsy' is made it tends to stick, and there are numerous people with this diagnosis who have been symptom free for many years. In other words, its well worth looking at what other people have considered in their RAs but the subject really does need to be approached with caution, John
