Hi,
I'll give you a brief outline of my situation to see if anyone can help?
I had to declare mental health issues to the dvla in August 2019,they revoked my license until I was stable for 3 months, so I was issued a 1 year license in Nov 19, it's up for renewal in November 2020 but it has been extended to Oct 21 due to covid.
This time round they have sent a mental health questionnaire and a DR1, why have they sent this?
I was convicted of drink driving in 2003 but didn't have any alcohol issues at the time, unfortunately I became dependant on alcohol 9 years ago and had a community detox which was successful, I did not drink for 8 years until March 2019 when I had a couple of drinks over a few days but not to excess which is in my records.
My question is that the DR1 says before I reapply which will be Oct 21 I should make sure I can show I have abstained for 12 months which is fine as my last drink was March 19,I've rung my gp to ask if they can do tests to prove my abstinence for the next 12 months, they said they would do a liver function test now and one in 6 months, but I'm worried this won't be enough evidence for the DVLA, I'm considering getting private CDT tests done every 6-8 weeks, does anyone know if the Dvla accept private cdt tests?
Any help appreciated Thankss
