Hi Anxious Anonymous

I do not know what you mean by " loss of consciousness is remote".

There was an important decision a few years ago for claimants who suffer from epilepsy, the following web site may be able to help you pipinfo.net

I was referring to what BIS said, to quote:

“ Now she may not have fits very often but may have a very high risk. I have a relation that has had only two (that we know of), but what happens when he has one is very serious - so it's too risky for him to shower alone, and this was a point made when applying for his PIP. Don't expect them to know. You have to tell them in detail. If you have had a look at the guide, it talks about safety, reliability and standards. Reread it (page 50) Even if your daughter uses any aids, it won't stop her from having a fit.”

Two seizures for example in one year is remote but there was serious risk.
