[QUOTE="Homer59, post: 691307, member: 140216"] Hi, I've recently had my Class 1 licence revoked. I used to drive artics and have type 2 diabetes which is controlled by diet and medication. I have never had any episodes of hypo's although sometimes my blood glucose readings are borderline. I have to take blood readings every two hours relevant to driving. Like you, I am currently in dispute with the bureaucrats at DVLA and would like to know who is actually on the medical team at Swansea, whether there are any doctors or whether its just pen pushers sitting behind desks reading the EU directives and just activating them. My licence renewal took ten weeks from application to their revocation. My appeal started three weeks ago and still I have not received any notification from them. DVLA informed me that they currently have an 8 week waiting list for reviewal of any medical issues. I will sign your petition as this procedure is unfair and unjust when people with other disabilities can drive . [/QUOTE]
