Did you not have to complete a dr1v form before your medical?
No. Just had a blood test and those quick questions.

You should have been given time to fill in form b4 blood test. That's the Normal a procedure. The form itself is a potential trap if you don't know what the acceptable parameters are relating to alcohol questions.Oh I know, I saw him fill out that form himself actually. He asked for my gp details then went through some questions on the form

Driver87I had my medical done at the Averley medical centre in Essex. He presented me with 4 questions only. When did you last have a drink? when you drink how much do you consume and are you healthy or on any medication. To which I answered, mid June, seldom drink maybe once every 3 months and when I do its only 2-3 beers. Lastly I stated I was healthy and wasnt on medication. I could see he was ticking all the no boxes on the form. It lasted about 30 secs if that.

I had the exact same scenario at Aveley nearly 2 weeks ago. Skinny tall funny hair Asian chap. Nice guy to be fair.
On that basis you'll be fineI had my medical done at the Averley medical centre in Essex. He presented me with 4 questions only.

Not heard anything yet but they are pretty good with sending paperwork etc.Thats who I had. Have you heard anything back yet?
Hello mate what time did they say was on system as I rang them around midday yesterday and they said nothing come through yet,My medical was with that guy at Aveley on Thursday 9th July.
Rang DVLA today and blood results were put on system yesterday. Wouldn't tell me the results over the phone but I know it will be very low as I quit drinking 15 months ago.
They've not got the form he filled out uploaded yet though so until that's scanned the medical department cannot review.
It's coming...I can feel it lol 15 weeks since i first sent the D1 application in!

Hiya palHello mate what time did they say was on system as I rang them around midday yesterday and they said nothing come through yet,
Nice one ?Hiya pal
I didn't ask the time but they are working up until 7pm at the minute to clear the back log so could have been anytime up until then.
They are also working tomorrow scanning and uploading stuff so hopefully it gets done this weekend then they can make the decision next week.
I am classed as a key worker but its not really done me any good so far as I have had to constantly fight, ring and complain non stop.
Hi was you revoked because of a failed lft or something else. CheersYes everything you have done is perfect and correct and the right way about getting your licence back, what I am pointing out is DVLA are NOT aware at the moment that you had alcohol issues, once they know this then the ball game changes again, they can and often do send you for more than 1 medical don't just assume that 1 medical `= licence more often than not in cases like yours and mine 1 medical may count as PART OF your medical history as they consider putting you back on the road, alcohol issues come with severity levels at the DVLA mild/severe for alcohol dependence and your GPs input is for guidance, however DVLA will treat you according to their level,(how much of a risk you are) and may send you for a number of medicals until they are satisfied that you no longer pose a threat to other road users, yes I know you can't drive at the moment but once you are eligible to they can revoke you once you notify them of alcohol issues, I was left driving for 4 months(under investigation) then they decided to revoke me for a year on notification of alcohol issues from my GP ......
