Oh right, they only sent me a standard renewal form. No cover letter or anythingThey only sent me a medical form to fill in, no renewal form I sent that back about a week ago, so I’m just waiting now to see what the next step is.
My 12 month licence expired 4th of October I put my application back in 3 months prior (12 weeks you can apply early ) only just had my medical last week . Expect 6 month turn around (at best ) you will be able to drive under a section 88 if you meet the criteria . But your insurer may well not accept that if you have a bang .. good luck.My 12 month medical license is due to expire jan 2021, what is the process, I’ve filled in the forms sent them off, just wondering do I have to have another cdt test etc. Any info with be really appreciated thanks
Yes, usually Dvla will write out to your gp with a medical report and you will be expected to attend another Dvla medical, cdt test ,,, I’m in the same boat myself, however if your licence does run out you are able to drive on a section 88 as long as you have been to see your gp ....
Unfortunately exactly the same as the 1st time . Frustrating but at least your forearmed and know what to expect ana the time scales from previous . Once again (like my last one ) my GP have me a glowing report and has now said to me on both occasions I should not have had to have them . I even asked the GP the same question that the DVLA requested I visit and they too said they would not have said I needed a further one .. but that said when the DVLA are using staff that have no medical training or background and no legal training or background one expects the worse .. that how I look at everything so now and try keep one step ahead. .. as it's always negatives so if you look at it that way you won't be disappointed or frustrated .. that's my thesisHonestman
Just out of interest - is the DVLA medical second time round a bit more straight forward?
If they do write to the GP a year later - is this just a fishing exercise to see if there has been any medical issues in the recent 12 months?
My point is - the DVLA will know your medical history anyway when you first got reinstated on the road.

How can your GP see you?
All this year with COVID nobody is allowed to see the doctors in the surgery in my home town, and if you ring for an appointment you just get the doctors calling you back
I’ve had my Dvla medical and my gp forms returned to the DVLA. They want further examinations, is thet due to not doing a eye test or what sort of further information are they looking for if they have already don’t my CDT and the CDT came to 0.5% and my go has no records of any dependency through drink or drugs? - I can’t find a post anywhere about this or anyone who has had the CDT - GP FORMS AND STILL THE DVLA ASKINg THEM FOR FURTHER INFORMATION- this is so ****ING LONGGGG
Dewaan can you stop posting on every single thread please! This is the 6th time I’ve had a notification from you, it won’t get an answer any quicker it’s 1am!!!!
Use common sense! First thing this morning call the GP/DVLA
What common sense mate? Dvla is closed
The minute you sign that consent form to contact Gp and require further information it’s game on so to speak for the DVLA, do you know for a fact there are no issues with Health, drug or alcohol? So many people put on here there is nothing wrong with my medical records....again have you spoken with your Gp? Have you requested your medical records? Have you asked if there are potentially any flags, as mentioned doesn’t have to be drug/alcohol related.well, I know let’s post it on about 16 different threads hoping for an alternative solution? In that case if the DVLA is closed call your GP and ask what has happened, did they note something to the DVLA, be proactive and ask some questions to the person (your gp) who is dealing with the DVLA who might shine some light as to why......that’s more common sense!
