Incontinence during seizure type episodes
Client has a brain cyst. Has seizure type episodes during which she can have bladder incontinence.
Examining practitioner has ignored this within the WCA as “incontinence during seizures not relevant” .
Are there any case law decisions against this approach?????
[Satisfies the WCA but in WRAG….have appealed with view to Support group. Looking to Reg 35 but also think she satisfies Descriptor 8 in sched 3]
When was the assessment? Descriptor 8 changed on 28th January, to say ‘Absence or loss of control whilst conscious ...’.

Cheers. Assessment was in December 2012 so that is good.
The other thread give me hope. Many thanks.
