I was wondering if anyone could help us please. My son was diagnosed as type 1 just before his 11th birthday, he was granted a provisional driving licence on his 17th birthday and passed his driving test about 18 months later. He completed his renewal form when it was sent to him however when it asked the question about hypos he did state he had had three in the last twelve months and gave dates and consequently his licence was revoked. The letter that came back stated that he had confirmed these hypos had required the assistance of a 3rd party and therefore he could not drive until he had managed a full 12 months without ANY hypos which is more or less impossible for type 1's. We appealed against this and were told to provide details from his constultant and GP. Both his GP and consultant sent 2 letters each to DVLA appealing against their decision stating my son had never in nearly 10 years required assistance from a 3rd party but we were told the decision still stood. I phoned the DVLA and they confirmed their medical department had looked at my sons case in full and as he had stated his hypos had required assistance on his original application they would not be changing their decision. I told them that the question of requiring assistance was not on the initial form only on the appeal form to which he had stated no but they basically said they were looking at changing the forms to include the question on the initial renewal form but they would not change their mind in my sons case even though they had received letters from the GP and consultant stating that my sons hypos were never severe and had never required assistance from a 3rd party. i asked what further action we could take and I was told that we could take them to court when I asked how long this would take the gentleman I spoke to laughed and said get yourself a lawyer it will cost a fortune and we've never had anyone do this because of the cost and you will not win. My sons car has been on our drive since september taxed, insured cos he doesnt want to lose his no claims bonus should he ever get his licence back, it cost us enough to insure it for him, he does not want to start his insurance from scratch. I have now found out that the DVLA have changed the form to include the question did your hypos require the assistance of a 3rd party and we have therefore completed a new form to reapply and his consultant has once again agreed to provide details to DVLA stating there is no reason why my son cant have a licence. My question is has anyone else had this problem and is there anything else my son can do to get his licence back.
