Hi, so last year i was on a 1 year license due to medication for my mental health, I renewed it in December and on the form it asked if I had a history of alcohol dependency or misuse, now I’m sure I only ticked for misuse. I’ve spoken to my doctor who agrees alcohol dependency is not a problem, there has been some misuse in the past but no longer is that an issue. I completed 8 weeks with CGL to help with controlling my drinking, that was 3/4 months ago and at this time I was drinking 2/3x a week, now I only drink once a week and within government guidelines, I had bloods taken 2 weeks ago and all is normal, my liver function normal too, I’m just so confused and don’t know what to do next, my doctor stated I was fit to drive whilst my application was with the DVLA and I was driving last year but now they think I’m alcohol dependant? I called DVLA today and they said this decision come from there doctors from information they have gathered? They said no matter what my doctor says they have the last say and all I can do is get my doctor to contact their doctor and explain but it may not change anything. So a year no driving for what? Surely I can get this sorted?
