Conciousness during waking moments & migraine suffer

Is there any recent case law on this descriptor? f I recall correctly, R(IB)2/07 put the kybosh on migraine suffers attracting points in relation to altered conciousness but I have a vague bell ringing (probably due to altered conciousness on my own part!)

Any contributions gratefully received.

The commentary in the new legislation volumes points out -  ‘With no reference now being made to ‘epileptic or similar seizures’ and the descriptors referring to ‘significantly disrupted awareness or concentration’, the strict and narrow approach in R(IB)2/07(T) is no longer warranted.’

It goes on to say more, of course, but ultimately suggests the argument can be made.

Thanks- appreciated.

This (now reported) case makes clear that the test is not the same as that in R(IB) 2/07 (referencing the commentary highlighted above) and is not affected by the March 2011 changes.

I just hope that the link works (or Ros posts a link to the summary…)
