Type 1 D1 Forms/Driving

Has anyone had to complete a D1 form? If so how long roughly did it take. I have actually had my license cancelled and sent a D1 form about 2 weeks ago but I have not heard anything back from DVLA? I have tried calling them numerous times but can never get through. Getting worried now as a recent promotion at work means I will need my license more than ever!!

You might not get much out of DVLA at the present time.

And do you mean form Diab1 ? (Sorry to be pedantic).

You sure you’ve had you license cancelled and not just the large vehicle element which gets revoked as standard??

Have you used the online checker to double check your entitlement

They are normally quick responding to the initial fir but if the require medical checks it can take months

But unless you’ve had disabling hypos it’s unusual for them to cancel car entitlement

When I check on the DVLA website it actually says I have no driving entitlement.

Then why was it cancelled?

I did not get back to them within the alloted time. It was the same year I was diagnosed and I will be honest I struggled to come to terms with my diagnosis and got lazy with things like this. However, now I am trying to get ontop of things like this and on the straight path when it comes to my Diabetes also

But you’ve passed a test and everything??

ok, ill assume you passed you test.. its unfortunate you didn't respond back then, so your license will have been revoked, but you still have the 'qualification'

so it should just be a case of completing the forms, and hopefully they will just reissue a 3 year license, however they may decide to perform some for of medical (unusual) so the bad news on that from is it could take upto 3 months

the DVLA medical number is: 0300 790 6806 its normally easier to get through on this even if just to confirm that have had the forms, if not get a new set sent, send it special or recorded delivery just so you know they have actually received it.. a lot of post going missing

i hope you have now accepted your condition, and that you manage to get your life back on track
