The current fitness to drive requirements in relation to epilepsy have been in place since 2010. There was no rule change in November of last year.
The standards of fitness to drive are set out in EU legislation and national law. A person diagnosed with epilepsy must provide a medical report completed by a general practitioner (GP) when applying for a driving licence for any category.
