Degenerative Disease of the Brain
- Parkinson’s Disease - Most applicants with Parkinsonism suffer
physical and/or cognitive deficits which render them unfit. Individuals who have minimal
Parkinson’s disease, such that they do not require L-dopa or an L-dopa agonist, may be certified.
All patients licensed with Parkinson’s disease must have a satisfactory neurological assessment
at each renewal and more frequently if clinically indicated.
- Dementia - Applicants with dementia are permanently unfit.
In the small number of cases where the cause of the dementia is known and the condition has been
resolved, applicants may be considered for recertification.
