    Hi David,

    With epilepsy there are a number of factors at play such as age, type of seizure and number of seizures. Because there has been some time passed this makes it more likely you can join but the only way we would be able to confirm would be through submitting an application. As part of the process, our team are able to access your GP medical records which are then reviewed by our medical staff. They can then give you the definitive answer based on your case history.
