Still unable to gain full medical history as my files date back to before computer documentation
You should still be able to obtain your pre-computer notes (
Lloyd George) which should contain your records since birth, and any written hospital documentation.
You need to find out who made the diagnosis in the first instance. Unfortunately, the term was sometimes banded around inappropriately - I've even seen a single febrile convulsion labelled as epilepsy.
It would be helpful to obtain information including, type of fit/absence, what happened, and who witnessed it, how long it lasted, were you investigated, fit frequency, were you medicated, when was the last occurence.
Got to the CAA prepared
