[QUOTE="jbwebesign, post: 973576, member: 218747"] I am having exactly the same problem! I too completed the medical form and noted that I had two hypos requiring assistance. However, in the first instance I misread the question, my second hypo that required assistance was a hypo where I was conscious and aware of what was happening, however, we had to get paramedics to the house because everything that I was eating/drinking to come out of my hypo was not working. Long story short I was sent to hospital to receive Gluocogan via IV until bloods had stabilised. My doctor had written a note regarding this hypo, yet the DVLA still felt it wasn't safe for me to have a license? Despite only having one major hypo within the year, this was back in July. I then re-applied on the 1st August (2 months before my 12 month mark), with the assisted hypoglycaemia question answered correctly this time! It took two weeks for them to receive the re-application. I too have been waiting for 11 weeks, I'm expecting to hear something this week as it will be the 11th week but I'm not holding my breath. It's quite unfair, they were on the ball at getting me off the road but getting back on is a nightmare! I'm keen to hear if your email is received and what response so you get so please re-post. If I don't hear anything from the DVLA this week then I'll also give it a try. Best of luck with your re-application, seems like we all need it at the moment! [/QUOTE]
