If the epilepsy is covered by the Equality Act, then as the carer you should be too.
I'd say you should be entitled to paid leave and I'd get your Branch Equality Officer on the case.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
