Hi again polly, yes they wrote to my GP, when DVLA conduct a medical investigation they send to your GP a medical report form named a DD2 for your GP to fill in, on this form will be lots of questions relating to your alcohol intake past and present, and somewhere down the line your GP has had a discussion with you about your alcohol intake, and he/she has recorded you as being dependent, with me they went back to 2006 a long time ago I know but in the GPs eyes and DVLA if your drinking has not been addressed through your GP then DVLA will revoke your licence until you can demonstrate through your GP with medical evidence that your problem has been addressed, it's a lot of information to get through that DVLA will not tell you about, are you drinking now and if so how much ?
