Do it.
I suffered what sounds to be a similar head injury and time of unconciousness following an accident aged 12. I had cranial bleeding and surgery to minimalise this.
I shared the same concerns as you but paid the cash for the class 1 to find out once and for all if I could fly or not...
I did the class one and all went well, however the medical officer referred me to CAA Neuro specialist for further tests given the seriousness of my injuries.These tests turned out to be very basic and a week or so later I was issued a class 1 with no restrictions , even better the CAA forgot to send me the invoice for the time with the speicalist!
I consider myself extremely lucky, especially now as I fly commercially and love it! I know that the fact that I'd made an otherwise full recovery and the timescale (6 years) without hiccups between the injury and time of class 1 application meant that any concerns were forgotten, I'd hope the same would apply to you.
I hope the outcome for you is as good as mine, you really should find out.
PM me if you think I can help some more...otherwise good luck
