I have epilepsy, got banned until I was clear for 12 months, never told my insurance, docs told me I didn't have to. Also it's something that can happen to anyone, I'm on medication to control it and have been clear since so technically I'm safer than those who aren't. Also from what I'm told by the doctors anyone who faints/passes out for no reason should be banned for 12 months

Yeh, after my accident I had to be year fit free, did that so got my licence back and bought 4 corsas in the time I had my licence. Then randomly had one six months ago

Just worried as when I went holiday I got holiday insurance Which was £7 and when I'm told them I had epilepsy it went upto £82
My insurance for 1 week in Bulgaria is £130+ because of my dicky ticker.

Wasn't there a big crash on the M1 a few years back because someone sneezed?

Ah didn't realise Scotty sorry chap. I don't think you will declare it. If asked do obv, but just find a company that don't ask
Corsa is lovely too btw

Isn't it like standard practice for insurers to ask about medical conditions?

You need to inform the DVLA if you intend to drive even if it's been more than a year. Your insurance company will ask you if you have any medical conditions that you've informed the DVLA about. So...
