This information is a summary of the information available on the DVLA website regarding driving after a first seizure and/or with a diagnosis of epilepsy.
The DVLA are continuously reviewing their documentation, so we always advise checking with them directly.
Please note,
Unfortunately, there are no clear cut or immediate decisions regarding the ability to drive if you begin to suffer from epilepsy as a result of your Cavernoma.
There are some actions that must be taken immediately;
Ultimately, being honest with the DVLA and informing them quickly of your circumstance is likely to make your position clearer and more manageable in the future. We therefore advise you to get in touch with the DVLA as soon as possible.
Typically you will be without your licence for at least 6 to 12 months, depending on your diagnosis and doctor’s opinion.
