[QUOTE="Davyb, post: 691329, member: 35131"] [USER=140216]@Homer59[/USER] read my post about 16 minutes after your post, yes the advisory panel are mostly doctors - their names appear in the minutes of the "Secretary of State for Transport’s Honorary Medical Advisory Panel on driving and diabetes mellitus", often the problems appear to be in the implementation and day to day administration of the regulations, DVLA Medical seem to be extremely under resourced, and often the staff appear to go by their own idea of what the rules should be. You should be able to get your full entitlement back. The procedure is just a major [B]PITA[/B]. In a recent conversation with one of their call centre workers they were not aware that the driving license paper counterpart was not being issued and will no longer be required from 1st of Jan 2015, which was announced in a press release on 18 Jul 2014. It looks to me that DVLA are under severely under resourced and the DVLA Medical unit especially. [USER=35990]@Oblomov[/USER] - its not an old issue but still an ongoing one and probably will be for years [/QUOTE]
