After seeing the DVLA independant consultant 6th July 2015 ad my licence back within two weeks this as got go b a record as I emailed Oliver Morley to tell him last yr it em took 7 weeks to cum bk so wether he looked at things I've no idea but it worked as I sed whilst I'm waitin for them to decide I cannot apply for any jobs as I knew I'd passed all 3 stages as I av good control over my diabetes and all the medicals ad been passed so I'm a happy chappy same again nxt yr which soon comes round
