I waited 4months from 1st Nov 21 to book a medicalI sent my application in March 2022 & cheque was cashed in April - still not received any correspondence about booking a medical.
Is this normal?
Well done on the getting your life back mate! Can’t state enough how hard it is. The dvla did not write to my gp they wrote to Risums(drug team) and they are backing my app not one failed drug test over 12 months , I am always honest with them. What is pregbalin? I am on methadone and under 25ml a day is the legal limit . Search your drug and see what it says. I have a mate that is on all sorts of anti psychotics gabapentin and he is ok to drive . We all make mistakes keep me updated on your app. You are not the only one going through thisHi mate
I’ve not been in contact with the drug service down here in Plymouth for 20 months. So I have no proof I’ve been clean since then!!
I think I’m in for the long haul now. All the skeletons are gonna come out & but me in the arse!!
I’m on Pregabalin, 200mg twice daily. I’ve been on them for 5/6 years now. I have them going nerve pain in my back. The drug service tried saying there’s no proof they work for back pain even though it blatantly says that on the internet & the leaflet in the box!!
I’ll be glad to get Monday out the way!!
My medical time scale isFinally managed to get through last Thursday & they just said it’s with the medical dept & they cannot give a timescale & blamed Covid which I guess is their standard excuse!
It’s so bloody frustrating
Ban up January 16 2022
Sent form 11th jan
Medical 24th march
Sent me drug questionnaire 22nd April and said they were writing to GP (told them I was on zapain (codine painkillers for 9 years and had injections to come off them over 3 years ago due to theside affects)
GP got forms 4th may
Form sent back 13th June…
Now waiting to see if I get my license, a yearly, requested for another medical or refused. It should be in my notes I’ve refused painkillers for pain management from connective tissue disease or they may have wrote to GP due to scar on my chest from a heart monitor a few years back which can back as nothing other than some extra beats which are harmless and common. Requested my medical file from the DVLA so will find out in about 50 years lol
Wow that’s quick! Awesome news!! I bet your bouncing off the walls lolI had my medical on Thursday 16th June and have just checked online and I have my license back!

May I ask when you sent your application in? I sent mine in March & still not had my medical letter
Thanks for the reply - I managed to speak to someone yesterday & she said it’s on the system waiting for a doctor to review it but couldn’t give me a timescale - so frustratingHey, I sent it on the 21st April. My ban was up in November so I’m not sure if that made a difference.
