What happens after you have told the DVLA.
The
medical questionnaire that you fill out will enable you to give your
consent for the DVLA medical advisor to request medical information
from your doctor if necessary.
If possible a decision will be made on the information you provide, if not the medical advisor may:
- Contact your GP or consultant.
- Arrange for you to be examined by a locally appointed medical officer or local consultant or specialist.
- Ask you to undergo a driving assessment, eyesight test or driving test.
In
88% of cases enquires will be completed within 15 working days. If
further enquires need to be made then 85% of these cases will be
decided on within 90 working days.
Decisions which can be made regarding your licence
- You may be able to keep your license or be issued a new one if you are reapplying.
- You
may be issued a licence for a period of 1,2 or 3 years if the medical
advisor feels a further review of your condition is necessary in the
future.
- You may be issued a licence which indicates that special controls need to be fitted to the vehicle you drive.
- Your licence may be revoked or your application refused.
If
your licence is revoked or refused you will be given a medical
explanation of why the decision was made and, where possible, you will
be advised of when you can reapply. You will also be sent notice of
your right to appeal the decision to a Magistrates Court in England and
Wales or a Sheriff Court in Scotland.
