@CarbsRok, this isn't actually true. Form DIAB1 Online doesn't require any mention of neuropathy per se, rather whether you require special controls or an automatic gearbox to drive the car as a result of your condition. There is no requirement to tell the DVLA on the license application whether you have neuropathy.When your OH filled in the form for his new driving licence it does ask about neuropathy, so OP got his licence under false pretences, so valid end of story.
You are supposed to notify them:
- If you have poor blood circulation or loss of sensation (such as caused by neuropathy) that means you need to drive only particular types of vehicles, such as those with automatic gearboxes or with hand operated accelerators or brakes
- If you develop a complication of diabetes or any other medical condition that affects your ability to drive safely
