Just had a letter informing me I’m required to attend for Jury duty. I’m 50 with young onset, I can’t sit still for 30 minutes, certainly not all day. I also doubt I’d be able to take it all in.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Thanks

Hi. Just detail all your symptoms in the form they’ll email you a couple of weeks before your service is due and you will probably be discharged. Happened to me last week. Good luck!

I too had a jury service letter recently. Like yourself, I struggle to sit still for too long and know that I would not have been able to guarantee attendance every day let alone maintain concentration for the day. Like Starsky, I let the courts know about my symptoms and concerns by filling in the form (online I think). I was sent a discharge letter within a couple of weeks.
All the best,
Gary.

Good news. Just had confirmation this morning, I’ve been excused. Very easy process, didn’t have to get a letter from my GP, just told them my condition and why I couldn’t do it. I guess the Jury Service don’t want to be bothering GP’s during Covid times.
