Is anyone actually able to get through to the DVLA? I was due to get my licence back April the 13th after an 18 month ban. I am HRO so needed a medical. So I applied at the beginning of January for my licence. Finally got my medical on the 4th May then two weeks ago got a letter saying they wanted more information from my GP. My GP sent the form back to the DVLA last Tuesday and I spoke to her about it before she sent it and she said she could not understand why they had sent it and went through what she had put on the form. She said she had put that there had been one incident with alcohol over three years ago when I had a drink an took an overdose but she put no history of alcohol abuse and no risk etc and no current mental health issues or heavy drinking or anything like that. Does anyone know if that one incident will cause an issue? I am at risk of loosing my job if I don’t get my licence back and my mother has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer and been given three months to live and I can’t get to see her as I live in a rural area and public transport is terrible. How can I speak to the DVLA to find out what is going on? I have been ringing every day for weeks between 50 and 100 times each day and haven’t once got through. I just get an automated message every time.
