Hello I have two questions im asking for a little advice about so here goes :
I have until the 1st of July 2021 to book with a DVLA appointed Dr for a CDT test, this letter was sent to me on the 8th April 2021. I was a heavy drinker of around 70 cans of cider a week up until I was sent a letter regarding a medical. The letter stated I was to have a FULL medical. I have been drinking within the 14 units weekly guidelines since then up until this week and last week. Where I have truthfully drank more than I should of. As I had 3 units over last week & and 2.5 units over yesterday evening. Will this have a dramatic effect on my CDT levels when I have the test now?
I`m looking to contact the appointed Dr to make the appointment on the 20th to 24th of June now as I don`t want to obviously go over the time time limit given to attend for the medical.
My second question is this morning I have been sent another letter from DVLA dated the 8th June 2021 giving me 12 weeks for me to make an appointment for a Drug test by suppling a urine sample. So this is a different test than the CDT full medical letter that was sent on the 8th April 2021. Has anyone else had this happen? Also does this mean I have to attend both of these medicals as I thought a full medical would require a urine test aswell, but I may be wrong in thinking this.
I`ve tried contacting the DVLA provided number today to have a voicemail so no joy with contacting them. I know its the weekend so I am going to try calling them again to see if someone is there to take my call then?
Ive had to obviously give the DVLA consent to look into my medical records in 2013 I did a home detox programme for alcohol from being dependent. My records also show that I have had a fairly big history of drug abuse going back to when I was a child. I was a very heavy Solvent Abuser when I was a teenager and as an adult a user of Cocaine, Amphetamines, Ecstacy, Cannabis,LSD and perscription drugs (Co-codamol). The only drugs Ive used up until April was cannabis. all of the other mentioned drugs I stopped years a go.
I smoked cannabis every day until the 16th April but have remained been abstinence from taking cannabis since then.
Any light on my queries would be gratefully apprieciated.
