Scottish, if you put more than 6units at any one time, it's a massive Red flag For dvla, I know that's crazy in reality but be aware
really?
Surely everyone isn’t putting 0 for that question though?

Trust me on this and check other threads. When you fill in the questionare at dvla approved docs there are other "traps" such as last drink date it all depends on applicants history whether HRO. Its all on this forum. Medical section good luckreally?

I hope you don’t mind me asking but is there a reason why they have contacted your GP or are you in the dark?I applied for my licence back 1st May.
Medical appointment beginning of August.
Received a letter confirming they have contacted my Gp (18th August).
I have a consultation with Gp next week.
Ban ended mid July.
When will this saga end![]()
I had answered a few yes on the questionnaire. As I thought it was better too be truthful than lie.I hope you don’t mind me asking but is there a reason why they have contacted your GP or are you in the dark?
I'm getting pissed off now with dvla,ban ended 21st June,my cheque was cashed mid July, several phone calls to then be sent a further information dr1 form,which I had 14 days to return, at my cost,and did,stating yes to previous alcohol misuse/dependency, last drink over a year ago,mental health yes as I'm on mirtazapine, just a low dose,and spoke to a horrible advisor yesterday morning saying it was scanned onto the system 28th August and just waiting for the medical team to make a decision what to do next, Write to my gp ffs!
All my information is held by my gp,everything they need to know!!
Feel like I've paid for a service which I haven't received...has anyone made a complaint btw?
UPDATE ON ABOVEHello everyone,
PLEASE HELP ME! I applied for my licence in March (just before the pandemic), payment was taken in April. Then Covid shut everything down and I was told there were no medicals for 12 weeks
Very frustrating as my ban was up May 3rd but I got over that. Had my medical July 21st, a letter was sent to my GP and returned to the DVLA in full by August 21st and the DVLA confirmed they had everything they needed and it was now just the decision they were waiting on...
I went through the questionnaire with my GP and she said there was no medical reason for me not to drive, I received my CDT results and got a score of 1.1%. So there is absolutely no reason now for me not to get it back.
It has been almost 3 weeks since anyone at the DVLA has been able to give me an update, they just keep saying "we've got everything, you'll get your licence soon"
I know of people getting their licence back within days of their paperwork being received, in face somebody I know applied in June and got their licence back 3 weeks ago (2 weeks after blood test), why would mine take 3 weeks and what can I do to get things moving?? I've already made a complaint and heard nothing back
Very frustrated as surely those of us who applied 6 months ago should be prioritized over those who applied a month ago?
I made a complaint 2 days ago but I sent my application in March and licence due back May 3rd so I has basically got to the end of my tether 6 months on! Still no licence but they've promised it tomorrow nowI'm getting pissed off now with dvla,ban ended 21st June,my cheque was cashed mid July, several phone calls to then be sent a further information dr1 form,which I had 14 days to return, at my cost,and did,stating yes to previous alcohol misuse/dependency, last drink over a year ago,mental health yes as I'm on mirtazapine, just a low dose,and spoke to a horrible advisor yesterday morning saying it was scanned onto the system 28th August and just waiting for the medical team to make a decision what to do next, Write to my gp ffs!

As a matter of interest did you expect them to write to your GP or was that a complete surprise?I made a complaint 2 days ago but I sent my application in March and licence due back May 3rd so I has basically got to the end of my tether 6 months on! Still no licence but they've promised it tomorrow now
Apparently they have received thousands of complaints though so worth doing I would say, can't do any damage!
I did my medical July 21st, they wrote to my GP and had received everything back and scanned in for decision on the 28th of August, it's taking forever to do anything. My advice is to call your GP and ask if you can go through the questionnaire with them
Congrats AJC37UPDATE ON ABOVE
Emailed Tim Burton and a lady called me within 5 minutes and issued my licence as of midnight!
Hi AJC I was due my licence back in February! If its OK can I ask if you were HRO. I've been told my medical August was fine but they won't issue licence until October. It looks like you've had your GP well on side for you, congratsI made a complaint 2 days ago but I sent my application in March and licence due back May 3rd so I has basically got to the end of my tether 6 months on!

Absolute surprise. I got so upset and confused when they told me and couldn't figure out why. But I imagine it was due to the fact I said I was on a lot of allergy medicationAs a matter of interest did you expect them to write to your GP or was that a complete surprise?
