Okay so im new here, nice to meet you all! Now this is a UK related question so please no one give me info about the US. I had complex partial epilpsy from 1996-2003 but have been off meds and no symptoms since (hoorah!). Im 18 now and was considering a career in the RAF however was rejected from all fields (sad times) due to this. I want to keep up my interest in aviation so was going to apply for a NPPL since this uses the same regulations as the DVLA with regards to E. However, what im now wondering is with recent developments with being able to use a NPPL med certificate for a PPL in some cases, is it possible to pass a class 2 medical exam with a history of E? if not, is there some kind of waiver system like in the US that can be used to possibly be able to pass this?
 
Can't help with the UK question, just wanted to welcome you Paddyboy! We have quite a few UK members -- hopefully they'll be able to help.

Best,
Nakamova
