Don't mention the MH bit ssshh-hhToday marks 200 DAYS since giving the DVLA doctor my urine sample. Yes, 200 Days! 6 and a half months! I am still told that the “lab has my urine”. I was banned for 12 months a long time ago. I have been unbanned for 20 months and have been trying to navigate the medical maze during COVID, and I am on the last hurdle, a urine test. I have my sample 6.5 months ago, I have gotten my MO to write to them, twice now. I had reached a point of not caring and started to deal with it but day by day it winds me up more and more, it’s really triggering dark parts of my mental health and I hate having to deal with it through my day to day life. Sorry for the rant. But just as an acknowledgment to any disgruntled citizens browsing the forum R.E. DVLA delays, I feel your paid. 6.5 months they have my urine, I feel you…
Have you got your license back yet? My ban ended in feb 2021, drink driving had my CDT test , then they asked me for a urine test on Aug 5th. Still waiting for my result now can’t believe it.Today marks 200 DAYS since giving the DVLA doctor my urine sample. Yes, 200 Days! 6 and a half months! I am still told that the “lab has my urine”.

I've been waiting since July 14th, so 191 days nearly at where this chap was.Have you got your license back yet? My ban ended in feb 2021, drink driving had my CDT test , then they asked me for a urine test on Aug 5th. Still waiting for my result now can’t believe it.
What do they tell you the reason for the delays?I've been waiting since July 14th, so 191 days nearly at where this chap was.
"Labs still processing" Everytime I ring. I don't know in what other country around the world that it takes 6 months to process a bit of urine.What do they tell you the reason for the delays?
Yes exactly same for me, wonder if I could get a refund for the driving course I did"Labs still processing" Everytime I ring. I don't know in what other country around the world that it takes 6 months to process a bit of urine.
Sorry mate, unless I’m missing something, why do you feel your GP Has thrown you under the bus? When you yourself, informed DVLA (rightly so) that you were misusing after checking into hospital. You’ve obviously spoken to your GP or they have had notification from the hospital of cannabis abuse or misuse. And you GP has only confirmed the truth to DVLA? Like I say, unless I’m missing something here then I can’t see how your GP is to blame for anything? Not having a pop at you, just not understanding your argument.Hi all.
I checked myself into hospital and admitted cannabis use. They prescribed anti depressants & said I had to inform the dvla.
6 days in hospital in total.
I had to speak to my gp when I got out and ofcourse I got in touch with the dvla aslo..
Turns out they wanted to send a medical questionnaire to my gp.
So many many weeks later I get a letter saying my licence is revoked due to "evidence" that I'm a drug addict or misusing substances.
I feel like my gp has totally through me under the bus here. I'm completely devastated)':

I hear what both of you are saying.. however what I would of done is contacted my GP to find out my medical records.. and see if anything would jeopardize you not getting your license back..Hi all.

In the mean time I would ask the DVLA to send you your urine results too see how much was in your system.. maybe you can speak to legal aid or a solicitor.. it might not work but it's worth a try
This is stressful for everyone going through this.. but I want everyone to win an
It's so unfair it's unbelievableHi, thanks for reply.
I disclosed in hospital that I smoked cannabis.
I never told the dvla anything (I don't believe I have an addiction)
My gp filled out the form that the dvla sent to them, assessing whether I'm capible of driving or not.
I never even took a drug test. I was never involved with the police or anything like that on the road.
I had a driving job, I drove a 7.5 tonne vehicle. I believe Im competent to drive.
Tbh I was depressed because I lost access to my children and became suicidal. I begged for help.
I was advised to take medication and basically left to it.
That's what it feels like anyway.
Since I've lost my licence. I've obviously had to walk everywhere.It's so unfair it's unbelievable
But did the GP not send a letter to your house authorizing them to contact your GPHi, thanks for reply.

Yeah of course, I said they could.But did the GP not send a letter to your house authorizing them to contact your GP
Legend that’s a much better explanation, your first post was a little confusing. That’s why I asked the question. The golden rule, sadly most people find out too late…..tell your GP nothing. Because they will shaft you every time. Also when asked by hospitals “do you want us to send a letter to your doctor”? Always reply “NO”Hi, thanks for reply.
