Hi has anyone else had experience of the DVLA with insulin dependeant type 1 ?
My BF was diagnosed about 8 wks ago . We sent off relevant papaerwork to the DVLA as he drives 7.5 tonne lorries for a living. We had a letter from them yesterday to tell him that as he is now insulin dependant they have revoked his license to drive C1 !! as of 7/06/11 !!!!!!!!!!
We are now in a state of oh God what are we going to do . No notice what so ever etc etc.
I rang the DVLA this morning and spoke to a very unhelpful man who told me that there is nothing that we can do and thats final.Even though i told him this is his lievlyhood etc etc .Weve spoken to the diabetic nurse who has rung them and the lady that she spoke to told us that he can apply for a concessionary C1 licence but will have to have medicals etc
Now we are totally flummaxed and who knows what the future holds ?
Has anyone else had any problems like this ? Any help appreciated .
