A friend of mine has had her driving licence revoked by the DVLA because of information received alleging alcohol dependence.
I would guess that it was her GP. Unfortunately she suffers from a potentially life threatening disease and is undergoing numerous tests at several hospitals. The stress of her situation has led to periods of alcohol indulgence and overnight stays in A&E departments, I appreciate that this should not be an excuse to over indulge, but is it likely that the DVLA may take her on-going health problems into consideration if she appeals?
Having her licence revoked will have a major effect upon attending future appointments for clinics and treatments.
If she attends an independent medical examination at a DVLA approved doctor, can she expect an unbiased report, and if the independent examination is found in her favour, will she be able to override the DVLA decision and have her licence re-instated?
