Question:
Answers:
sorry you've had such alot to deal with all at once. this may be time to think about what you really love doing and perhaps re-training, taking a qualification or thinking of setting up your own business. have a chat to an adviser at learndirect and ask your job centre about the Shaw Trust. As a disabled person there are schemes and grants available to help you make a new start. good luck.

sorry no answer for ya, but i hope someone does! i had epilepsy when i was younger, twas only d petite mal, so i grew out of it any way good luck
Well..find a job where you disorder would not put you and others in danger! I don't know what an hgv driver is, so, please, I hope my suggestion is not way off base.
If we assume you will not be able to get back your license, then you might consider looking into becoming a trainer for other hgv drivers. There might be opportunities to work as support staff where hgv drivers are utilized.
Brainstorm. Think about what it is you really love to do. Then also brainstorm about if you can do this job without needing to drive (think about if it's something you can do at home or is in a close proximity to your home, too). A lot of cities have public transportation systems so that can help in getting you around. Also, in some towns there are special bus services for the disabled (epilepsy is considered a disability) and elderly that you can access that will pick you up and drive you around to where you need to go for a fee (you have to tell them when and where to pick you up and what time you have to be at your destination).
Sorry to hear about you losing your job. Just remember though: it's safer not to drive anyway and you can always find a new job that doesn't rely so much on driving. If nothing else, you can even start a new home business. :) Hope things work out for you. :)
Im sorry to hear about your diagnosis and that it means you had to lose your job, life is extremely cruel sometimes.
I know exactly where you are coming from because I fell seriously ill at 20 and had to give up my work in journalism, which I loved. Since then, I've had to come and go with my illness, but I took the opportunity to try out lots of different college courses to see what I enjoyed and was good at.
Now Im the founder member of a community group working for disabled rights and community facilities, and Ive found a p/t job as an administrator amongst really nice people.
As someone mentioned before, Learn Direct is a good place to start, they'll help advise you on retraining and finding out what you can do and would enjoy.
There is also a charity you may heard of called Quarriers, who can provide good advice for living with epilepsy and can provide help support and guidance (link below).
Best of luck.
