Hi Guys,
Been a reader of this forum for the last few months, thanks to you all for posting on here its been a great source of information/reassurance.
I had a medical three weeks ago, license due back this Friday 13th. I have been chasing DVLA repeatedly and last Friday a very helpful guy told me that everything was fine but I needed to fill out an M1 form (due to me mentioning depression, which I now wish I hadn't) which had been posted out. I said I can't wait that long explained why and so he told me to download one and fax it which I did and returned it to DVLA by lunchtime. At 4pm DVLA informed me that it had been received and passed on to the team.
M1 form as I'm sure you know asks about mental health. I answered no to everything as I am no longer being treated/taking medication. Last time I saw a GP about it was almost exactly a year ago, which I put on the form. ticked to to the rest etc.
now I have spoken to DVLA this morning and Monday morning, they said that the next step is to write to my GP. why would this be when I am no longer receiving treatment and answered no to all their questions? they said everything else is ok with medical, just the fact that when I filled form out on the day I mentioned depression.
I have been told to anticipate a 3 week period for this next step and I am in a word, flapping!
anyone experienced this before? would love to know. Many thanks in advance.
