Dee, you are babbling now and keep asking the same question on different threads to different people in different ways. Your sentences do not make any sense either....
DVLA are looking at risk.
Is this person who has been banned for drink/drugs related offences a risk of reoffending? Obviously they do not know about everybody's individual circumstances and therefore have to be a bit widespread in their enquiries. The DVLA medical is to get a snapshot of someone's situation, at this point in time.
Has the individual got any signs of alcohol dependence or misuse? This is checked by the medical, the CDT blood test and the questionnaire. In many instances they also write to the GP to get details of the individual notes.
Does this individual have any history that may indicate they may be a risk if their licence is reissued?
Somebody may have been classed as dependent/misuse in the past, however if they can show that they have overcome this (by show, I mean
prove - the GP is one of the best forms of proof that DVLA will accept), then they will still consider reissuing a licence, albeit maybe a limited 1 or 3 year medical licence.
Looking what I can see from your posts (quite difficult to read...) you previously had an alcohol issue, however you have now been abstinent for over a year (apart from the 2 Bud's you had in October). You also state that you had issues with drugs from 2019 that is recorded with the GP. At the medical, you will be given the questionnaire which you just need to be answering honestly. I believe your CDT will be fine, but I believe after the medical they will write to your GP and send them a questionnaire that is different to the one you fill in (
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/requ...R8030 DD2 attachment.pdf?cookie_passthrough=1.) As you can see from this, they will ask about your record on drink and drugs. Once filled in by the GP, if it mentions the drug issue, when they send back to DVLA you may be required to do another DVLA medical, but this time with a urine test to check for drugs in your system.
DVLA will not take just your word on things, so regarding the date of last drink they will accept what the GP says. If you have been seeing the GP and have noted with them that you haven't drank since Feb 2020, this is what they will accept if the other checks back this up.
If they do class you as dependent and ask for 12 months proof of abstinence. They will not do it from October just because you state that is when you last drank, they will presume you are lying and will base it from when you have proof of not drinking from, or the date of refusal (whichever is later), so I'd just forget about the drinks you had in October - they are irrelevant.
So down to my advice - Speak to your GP
now and explain you are reapplying for your licence and need their help. Get it noted that you haven't drank since Feb 2020, explain that the drugs issue is now in the past and you are now clean. Ask them to ensure that your notes are all up to date. Ask for an LFT test to help with your application.
