There isn’t one at the moment. Emails to the direct address for the medical department just get bounced backWhich is the best email address to chase d1 form that was sent off nearly 2 months ago and no correspondence
Thanks for the quick response. How is the best way to contact them. I did see this email address, I take it it doesn’t work eftd@dvla.gsi.gov.ukThere isn’t one at the moment. Emails to the direct address for the medical department just get bounced back
No, it doesn’t work, it just bounces back as being for G use onlyThanks for the quick response. How is the best way to contact them. I did see this email address, I take it it doesn’t work eftd@dvla.gsi.gov.uk
I have applied for my licence back ( 22/2/21 ) and jumped through all the hoops the DVA asked me to. Managed to get a letter stating that I would soon be getting a HRO medical appointment but that was the last I heard from them. Did some emailing and eventually was given the name of the doctor who'd be carrying out the exam. This process seem to drag on and on with little or none information from the DVA. Is there any evidence that raising a complaint gets anywhere or will that just upset the powers that be..please advise.
Well done for the positive changes that you have made. From what you say your GP has it recorded that you are abstinent from alcohol and all other indicators will support this . Therefore , whilst complicated I can’t see what more you can do ? Maybe let your GP know you are in the DVLA process if you haven’t already?My ban ended in July of 2020 so I put my application in at the end of April. My case is complicated by the fact I have sleep apnoea as well as being a HRO. Needless to say things haven't exactly been a cakewalk - the first medical took place about 6 weeks ago, but due to some sort of anomaly/error/f*ck up, the blood sample hemolyzed and couldn't be tested. Had my second medical a few days ago and hopefully this one goes better. I haven't had a drink in 2.5 years because I'm an alcoholic, I attend regular AA meetings and thankfully I've got no problems with my liver function after many, many years of destructive levels of drinking. The CDT test isn't a concern, but my 'coming clean' with the doctor about 3 years ago may now come back to bite me on the arse. I had a blood test at the doctors surgery in April 2020 and all was fine, however, I'm not sure if this (along with the medical I just had) will be enough 'evidence' that I'm abstinent from alcohol. Does anyone have any experience of what 'evidence' of abstinence is? Does two blood tests about a year apart seem like enough? It's been 14 months since my application went in, and nearly 4 years since I was banned, so it's all getting a bit tedious, but I have no-one else to blame but myself.

I’m the same I’m in Northern Ireland and I sent mine off in October 20 an I’m still waiting , haven’t had a medical appointment yet and have been told that they can’t give me a timeframe either, they said it’s because the nhs doctors are busy doing the covid vaccinesI have applied for my licence back ( 22/2/21 ) and jumped through all the hoops the DVA asked me to.

The doctor that did my medical in NI was in the SSE when I was being vaccinated, as far as I know he isn’t even working in the surgery I seen him in anymore. Nearly a full year waiting on an appointment would have put my head away at the time, fair play for sticking it out. I would follow the DVA’s official complaint procedure and escalate to stage 3 if that doesn’t get you
I’m stressing out incase there is another lock down and I’m left waiting another year , I really don’t think il be given an appointment anytime soon it seems like they aren’t doing Medical’s because they can’t even give me a time frameThe doctor that did my medical in NI was in the SSE when I was being vaccinated, as far as I know he isn’t even working in the surgery I seen him in anymore.

Hey everyone. I applied in December 2020, medical 1st march, referred to gp and had a telephone conversation on 24th May. After constantly checking my licence status online, today my status has actually changed to a full one with my renewal date the same as it was before I lost it!!!! I'm so bloody happy good luck everyone
Congratulations on getting your licence back. You said that you managed to have a telephone conversation with your GP. I’ve been told that my GP will not discuss my application by the GP’s receptionist.How did you get to talk to your GP and what relevant questions did you ask?Hey everyone.

My GP gave me my questionnaire to look at before it was sent off , and indeed agreed to add something I thought was relevant . The questionnaire that they sent Tony go mirrored , more or less the one the DVLA doctor filled in.Congratulations on getting your licence back.

My GP called me and went through the questions on the form. It was a very informal conversation and pretty straightforward.Congratulations on getting your licence back.

You have obviously got a very good and understanding GP, I can’t even get beyond the receptionist unless I have a ‘legitimate reason to talk to the doctor’. I’ll try and get an appointment about ‘an ailment’ and then introduce the questionnaire into the conversation! I shouldn’t have to do all this cloak and dagger stuff! Totally xxxxxx off!My GP called me and went through the questions on the form. It was a very informal conversation and pretty straightforward.
Try getting an appointment and tell your doctor how anxious the whole situation is becoming. When I tried to discuss the situation with the receptionist initially, they hadn't got a clue what I was on about so I just left it for them to contact me. I think it was about 3 weeks later when I got a call back.You have obviously got a very good and understanding GP, I can’t even get beyond the receptionist unless I have a ‘legitimate reason to talk to the doctor’.

I agree with you. That is poor. Your reason is entirely legitimate.You have obviously got a very good and understanding GP, I can’t even get beyond the receptionist unless I have a ‘legitimate reason to talk to the doctor’.
