Hi Edward,

There's a full list of the exemptions in the guides in the members area. But, on their own, cognitive and concentration problems are unlikely to meet any of them.

You might want to look at the exceptional circumstances in relation to being a danger to yourself or someone else if your concentartion issues are severe enough.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

The same exception re being a danger to themselves or someone else would apply.

If you're not familiar with dementia but are interested, you may find this link helpful in explaining how it affects people, which may help you to understand why someone with it may become a danger to themselves or others.
