DVLA + Epilepsy problem.

[TimNorwich]

Ok, so my missus was diagnosed with epilepsy almost a year ago, she was told she couldn't drive/ride for a year.

She didn't bother tell the DVLA back then.

on the 29th of October she will be able to start learning to drive.

Should she write to the DVLa saying she had been off the road for a year, with a letter from the doctor saying she is able to drive?

Obiously she doens't want to write to them explaining her medical condition and them take her liscence off her.

Any advice is mucho appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim.

Errrrr

She's best speaking with the GP about it as they'll be involved with the DVLA process. But if she hasn't told them already then I don't see the need for sending them a letter saying she had been off the road for a year, with a letter from the doctor saying she is able to drive. If she's telling them she's got epilepsy then she needs to fill out their forms rather than writing letters.

In her year off driving did she get treatment for the epilepsy?

Not really, she's on tablets that help control it, but she doesn't think it is epilepsy as she has headaches 24/7.

She should ask her GP for advice on the matter as they'll know whether she has to notify DVLA or not.
