Correct answer: A — She has been seizure-free for at least 5 years and has no other disqualifying condition

A 'til-70 Group 1 licence is restored once a person with epilepsy has been seizure-free for 5 years (with or without medication) and has no other disqualifying medical condition. This replaces the shorter-duration review licence. She must still notify the DVLA if she has further seizures. A: She still has a diagnosis of epilepsy. C: Group 2 requirements are separate and stricter (10 years seizure-free off medication). D: She must notify of any future seizure. E: Medication decisions are clinical, not DVLA-determined.
